Young bride I,
Newly married.
Babe within
Anxiously, happily awaiting the time of its' birth.

My groom was gone into the field
You'd watched me for a few days.
Gathering the mail
You caught me unawares.

You just couldn't let go or let me move on
Wanting what you couldn't have.
You did your best to take what you wanted
But my cane let you have it first.

Battered, bruised and bleeding
You took what you wanted
Heinously without regard for anyone but yourself.
You left me to perish without a thought
But you forgot one thing
One word, God.

For three days
Body was shutting down
For a kindly neighbor who'd noticed
Some blood upon the door,
Seeing me in such a state,
He rushed me to help evermore.

My groom dazed and worried,scooped me up in sorrow and love
Cursing himself for leaving me battle sore.
I told him who did such a thing
He hunted you down
Broke your nose
Hindsight being 20/20
He should have done much more.

The child within was lost, given up to God
A memento of your bad behavior,
The woman you could never have.
You pathetic sod.

Police reports were filed,
Kit taken in shame,
The pain of the lost child,
Guilt and nightmares
Hadn't any name.


Trial took place and you protested,
Blood speaks and blood type doesn't lie,
The photos of the crime.
You bore the scars and my maiming,
You'll not escape
"God willing, you'll pay for this!"
My family did they say.

You were found guilty, fifteen years you'll do,
Five more years may be added for the other life you took it, too.
Each year from prison you wrote me,
Not a letter was read
Burned in the fireplace,
You had made your bed.

The years rolled on and I moved on,
Painful as could be
The memories they faded,
Buried deep within
I pulled up my bootstraps
And got on with life
My groom and I together still,
Put it all behind.
No matter how hard you tried to destroy me
The hell you put me through
Will never equal the Judgment, God is sure to do.

Karma is a witch
Satan gets his due
God punished you in His way
It's perfect, just for you.

Fifteen years have come and gone,
Now you are free
That little soul you took
Was a part of me.
Still you seek me,
Wanting I know not what,
Letters, phone calls, e-mails go unanswered
There will never be any "buts".

Forgiveness may one day come,
But I'm not ready yet
It may never happen
And you must accept,
The soul you destroyed
Always daily wept.
The one thing you couldn't do
Is take my spirit within
The one God holds in His hands.

I could have let the pain destroy me
But turned it around instead
To do good and do right instead of evil
I'm the woman you couldn't wed.

My family has always loathed you,
Evil in you did they see.
Family is one thing
You'll never be part of me.

You see, light has come out of the darkness
And I thrive in God's love
In goodness I do walk
Doing His work happily
A gift from heaven above.
