Dear Hennessy,
Why must you come between my relationship
Why must you poison the mind of the man I love?
Becoming a monster when he is drunk
Trepidation engulfs me when I see those blood strain eyes looking back at me
Preparing myself for this verbal beaten when I hear anger in his speech
Tears rolling down my face
A cry for him to see I am not his enemy
Saying a silent prayer,
"God please help me to only see the good in this man.
Please reveal to him, my heart is in his hands."
Trying not to let this pain turn into hate
Telling myself, "You need to have faith.
For tomorrow will bring the man you love."
How can I forget those words lingering in my mind?
Scattering my heart every time
Fighting to hold on to my love
my passion
my admiration
for the man who lives within me
but I only feel disgust
I see only a beast who's words pierced through me as if I was nothing
I know his love is true
but his love for you, Hennessey is far greater
I guess you do for him what I can not do
For you're his ammunition while I am under attack
I am the target
his words are the weapons
you're his strength
his encouragement to go round for round
I'm too tired no point in yelling at the top of my lungs
I have did nothing wrong
Looking at this broken man and feeling nothing but pity
Hoping he see that you're the true enemy
but nothing I say seem to convince this man to
give up on you
So I made a hard decision to leave him alone with you
because it was you he chose
