I DO – KNOW
You threw me out of the house that night,
Have you no shame? You realize they are
your kids too — or have you forgotten that too?
We rode in our car at night — alone as it was
Storming outside. But inside there was calmness,
Of knowing you are not going to be around.
You think we hate you? I wish we could
feel any emotions for you. Indifference is
What you deserve — a man as puny as you.
You act with impunity and you make up lies.
Stop deceiving yourself — the others also realize.
One day when you will be alone, you will see
What I do know.
Now that you are not my family, and
we are going our separate ways — I open up
My heart and forgive you.
Children and I will be fine and are safe —
Now that you are away. When I said “I do”,
I thought I knew — but now “I do —truly know”.
