I remember the days of sultry lust
with a man of whom I could eventually have no trust
sad memories of times long past
of a love that I hoped so late in my life that would last
for a guy with a selfish cold cold heart
who came along and tore my world apart
with lies that cut and bled me dry
and left me here alone to die
first try rationalization then just patronize
While I'm trying to believe you when looking into your cold empty eyes
The word Evil comes to mind your such a soulless lot
and what you gave is what you got
never gave a thought to how I felt
just what was going on below your belt
manipulate and blame it all on me
tell me I'm wrong and leave me be
make me doubt my own intentions
meanwhile praising your own inventions
a war I cannot ever hope to win
and a love that is nothing more than sin
preach to me and tell me I am wrong
oh sing to me your siren song
speak sweetly and cloak your real intent
while I can almost predict the lies that you will invent
For I know you all too well you see
The man with the user personality
sad part is..... I love you still
even if you lie and always will
I just wanted you to know
I'm not that slow
I'm on to you and it may make you mad
I know what you are and that your a cad
so you can lie and you can preach
but in real life your just a leech
so know thyself a little bit
you sorry egotistic shit

An outpouring of emotions indeed.
In my humble opinion though it would be better done now you have the basics down on paper if you were to look at this again and trim away the deadwood so the words can more clearly be seen. -
six years is a long time you say he was your reason for your divorce then he knew all to well what you were giving up for him he just got greedy and along the way he knew he had you dont dog on yourself there is plenty out there to do that for you dont s
