Tania

Where do I begin to explain the beating?
You watched as I sat there bleeding,
You never cared about my feelings.
My hurt had no healing.
Rape after rape, I knew I had to escape, 
never allowed to look up,
never allowed to talk.
You beat me so I couldn't walk.
I remember the day I almost died.
You laughed, while I cried.
You beat me so bad while you cursed out my dad!
I could never withstand the pain, you are insane!
You played me like a game..
This time I win, and you; you have committed a sin.
When you burn in hell, which time will only tell,
God will ask you, "Why, why the beating of this woman whom you took to love?
Did you forget who was watching from above?"
Remember when I hid under the bed from you, what was I suppose to do?
You kicked me in my tummy.
I lost our baby and you thought it was funny.
You degraded me and put me in dirt.
You loved to see me hurt.
Now that I have gotten away through my planned escape,
I have no more tears or any fears, but the memory will last for years.
God has blessed me, and now I'm not afraid to see.
I am brave, brave enough to have a child now,
brave enough to have found marriage,
and brave enough to believe in love
thanks to God above...

I used to know you
I used to care for you
Even though you weren't true
I saw something in you
That made me to want to stay.

It was a learning curve
Because your mistakes, your heartache
Gave me a breakthrough
To escape the misery you put me through.

What you did
Made me doubt my beliefs
In something I thought was so great
But even so, I know the hole you dug inside my heart
Is slowly but surely closing up

They say what doesn't kill you makes you strong
I say I know what you did was wrong
When I look at my life I realize
Experience is the best teacher
I found strength in my weakness.

I've done enough crying caused by your deceit and lying
It took me a while, I ain't going to lie
But now that I have accepted and accommodated your deceitfulness
And learned to take a step forward without feeling any weakness

I have my life ahead of me
Even though sometimes it feels like I can't go on
I know accepting what you did and forgiving you
Was what I had to do to make my life right.

I wait eagerly for you,
Knowing what the day brings
'Cause it's that time of the year again
When we spoil each other with love.

That time of the year
When we are so close to each other
We feel we are one.
When we kiss for so long,
It feels like a dream.
And when we make love, it feels
Your touch, so smooth and
Looking into your eyes confirms the reality.

The fact that you are mine and I yours
Could never escape my mind
And every time we celebrate what we have
I feel so loved in so many ways.

The 14th of February brings me no worries.
It's the time we go all out to celebrate our love.
The day feels like a month
I want it to last forever.
Every time you smile,
I feel I'm in paradise.

Nothing could make this day any more special
Than sharing it with you,

MY VALENTINE!
