You tore away my innocence
With my young fear in your hand
You sliced apart my body
Leaving scars I could not stand
You took my friend away from me
And left the wounds to bleed
You tempted me with beauty
I was a fool indeed
You stole each of my children
And corrupted my young wife
You told lies about my character
And polluted my whole life
You murdered my good family
Took my son to begin again
Mocked each of my weaknesses
Tattooed babies with a poison pen
You stole my house and chattels
Left me without a home
You took my family and my loved ones
Leaving me to fight alone
You threatened me with blackmail
With a dinner plate in your hand
You brought it crashing down
Something I still don’t understand
You gave me strength and patience
And the best friends in the land
You gave me love and honesty
So my enemies could not stand
You gave me hope and gentleness
And the spirit to take stock
You gave me life and laughter
And faith within a solid rock
