Feelings...

You were a man with style and grace

You used to put smiles on every face

Kissing the ground you walked upon

made you think you can do no wrong

Your mother put you on pedestals much too high

You walked the streets with your head in the sky

You made me happy for a very short time

You made me think that everything was fine

but I was not what you wanted in your life

just a pretty trophy on your arm, your so-called wife

Your friends were jealous and crowned you 'the man'

You let them think everything was according to plan

Instead you did what you wanted and made me feel like crap

You talked to me with words that slapped harder

than any real slap

I was ashamed of myself for many years hiding my pain

I didn't want to live for you anymore, I'd rather die in vain

Very subtly it happened, becoming a prisoner of love

I hoped and I prayed to the heavens above

to let me out of this misery before I did it myself

All I wanted was acceptance and a little bit of help

I had to do it, I had to get from under your wing

and experience all the joy in life could bring

I'm struggling now but it's better for me

because I feel like myself again and I feel free...
