Erase Me From Life?
That Is Something You Can Not Do.
You beat me, emotionally abused me,
Tore my life apart, took everyone I loved away,
Left me on the streets, kicked me into the shadows,
And treated me like I was trash.
You spun your lies, made me out to be crazy,
Told everyone I was lazy;
You even told my husband I wasn't worthy,
You abandoned our kids like they were dirty.
But I have something to say,
I only wish that I could have said it years ago.
You can continue with your foul tongue,
Trash me with your cheap lies,
But don't you dare think that,
I will give up, wither, and die.
You can say what you want,
Just remember, I'm not listening to you;
You're going to try to erase me from life?
Well, that is something you can not do.
