Broken Vows

Her father was a cheater she remembers all her life
Never was he faithful to his beloved wife
She promised on our wedding day
She swore the words I heard her say
Through good and bad sickness and health
I thought our love was the greatest wealth
The first time was just two years in
She swore to God never again
The second time I am not sure exactly the date
This was just my kind of fate
Next she was caught with an old work friend
She promised it to would end
We have been through so much now
Our marriage is no longer about the vow
So many years went by so fast
My love for her torn so how could we last
10 years it had been
I thought we should try again
Renew the vows I held so dear
She no longer held me near
The couch had become my bed
We held on barely even wed
One night she came home so late
I cringed at the sound of her gate
She touched me on my shoulder
I dare not to role over
She caressed my cheek
I became so weak
She took me into her room
I thought of storms above as they loom
A moment of lust for once I gave in
Hoping this was the spark to ignite us again
She took control and played her role
I would pay the price with a great toll
The next time we would speak
It must have been over a week
She stayed out late night after night
I should have seen it in plan sight
The guard at college she talked about
She said he sometimes would help her out
Now she lives with him instead
Maybe one day they will be wed
A second chance, third and more
I should have never given to this whore
She lied from the day we meant
13 years of marriage had now been spent
She took my pride my dignity my life
She pretend to be a wonderful wife
All I was the man I knew
was broken and held hostage to
Her promise to not cheat anymore
What a lying cheating whore
Her laughter still stings my ear
She says she loves me and calls me dear
She smiles and pretends to love me
I hate her so totally you see
Please God take away the pain
She lives just to drive me insane
All it takes is one moment and its done
The rest of your life is a crap load of no fun
If you really truly don't know how
Never make that promise to your wedding vow
