Looking back now, on those years,

Did I shed, so many tears,

Allow myself, to fall apart,

And let them break my trusting heart?

Was I so fragile, fucking weak,

To cower down, so mild and meek?

Let their lying, thieving ways,

Break me, and my chosen days?

I stumbled, staggered, almost fell,

Into a hopeless, self-made hell.

And all the while, they watched, and smiled,

As all their lies, my wit, beguiled!

`Till then, I saw, was nigh too late,

They had no right, decide my fate!

It took some while, it took some-one,

To show, I could, again be strong

She came, and smiled, and took my hand,

She pulled me up, and helped me stand.

She made me pause, and realise,

My life had been, `till then, mere lies!

And so, my life, moves on, somehow,

With her beside me, stronger now.

She showed me love, made me believe,

My future lies, with Genevieve!
