Before I met you.
I was a red flower, blooming and dancing in the sun,
I was always happy and having fun;
I had hopes, dreams and I enjoyed living,
I was known for being flirty and outgoing,
I danced the night away with friends,
And I never shied away from trying new trends;
I lived life to the full,
And I used to think I was beautiful.
After I Met You.
I became sad and dull,
The sun faded from the moment
we were one;
I became that girl who wore the name,
"punchbag and victim,"
I lost my sunshine and forgot how to dance,
I refused to take another chance;
Another chance of happiness,
Fulfilling career goals,
Relationships,
And friendships.
My confidence drowned in an angry sea,
A life of tears and bruises,
You served me;
I lost my will to shine,
Dance,
Love,
And achieve.
All of me drowning in me.
In One Minute
Everything changed,
I became a mum, and then you changed!
Gone was the happy woman I used to be,
Replaced by broken dreams and tears for an eternity,
Tormented;
Life turned upside down,
You stole everything I loved from me,
And you also stole my identity.
You turned me into nothing;
Made me feel worthless,
Hopeless,
Ugly,
And unlovable;
You left me shattered into tiny pieces,
Not even leaving a shadow of the loving
girl that I once knew I was.
Everything changed
I thought that minute was going to last forever,
Then, I met someone;
Someone who saw what I was worth
Loved me as I was,
Stayed with me through the happiness and the pain,
And still loves me today.
No fool.
I want you to know;
I am no longer the fool you thought I was,
I don't need you anymore;
I'm happier today than I ever thought I could be,
I live my life, and I am me;
I have something you can't take away,
A life of love for eternity.
