He's making me go out again tonight.

I know he thinks everything's alright,

but it's not, and I'm tired of the same old thing.

He orders me around just because he gave me the ring,

a marking of his property, not a symbol of love.

Where is the man full of love I married?

Lately, all I seem to do is cause him to be harried.

I don't know how it came to this or how things got so bad.

Everything used to be bliss, but now it's always sad.

I wish I hadn't made this choice,

Because now I don't even have a voice.

I don't know who I am or where I've been,

But I do know what I'm about to do is a sin.

He's oblivious to the position I'm going to put him in.

What he doesn't know is I've found someone new,

Who doesn't control me and has virtue.

When I see him tonight it will mark a new beginning,

A new life free of restrictions and full of love.

I almost feel bad leaving him behind, but not bad enough to stay.

It's so relieving to know I'll be able to see things in a new way.

Hopefully this separation will do both of us good,

And maybe I will finally be understood.

At last I will have the life I have dreamed of,

and finally experience the true meaning of love.
