Forget

Forget how to care.
Forget how to trust.
Forget how to love.
For my sanity, I must.

Been burned by the promises
and many a lie.
I've sat back and watched
as my feelings all die.

I vowed I would love,
honor and cherish him always.
But he treats us like we are
invisible... daily.

How can anyone like that
deserve love from me.
My children and I
deserve to be free.

Free from the arguing,
the names and the drinking.
Free from the insults
for even just thinking.

For now I will live
as the "unaffected me".
If only to salvage
my diminishing sanity.
