Not Your DoorMat Anymore
Angry words , Slammed doors,
You blame me for your life,
I am suppose to be your best friend your wife,
You never swallow your pride to aplogize,
Where is the love that we used to feel?
Was it even real? I will not let you decieve me still,
Ive been your shelter from the cold,
I would have loved you through anything,
But to you I was a doormat,
Somewhere to wipe your dirt and grime ,
Shifting blame and responsibilty,
I walk away and you ask why,
Is it not obvious your unkind words hurt, The cheating the lies,
The tears you caused in our children's eyes,
So here I am afraid to wonder out in the world,
But I know this is something I have to do,
To prove to not only you but to myself that I will no longer be a doormat,
You have worn your welcome out,
You are too violent and too loud,
Your pestimistic ways darken the brightest day,
This more than any woman should tolerate,
I walk away because of the man you became,
Knowing I can't tolerate,
I have to stand up and say I am not your doormat anymore.
