Twenty Five Years

Twenty-five years is a long long time
To hope...to wish...to pray
I feel like giving up now Lord-
Do you think that will be okay?
 
I don't need no more pain...
I've had it for forever.
If he doesn't love me by now,
then I know he'll love me never.
 
I've tried to roll with the punches Lord,
But I don't think I can take anymore.
This loneliness causes such depression,
and my hearts hurting to the core.
 
I've pleaded, begged, forgiven, and ignored-
I've stood behind him through thick and thin and more.
I've remained true to my wedding vows-
But he makes it plain he wants me no more.
 
Must I continue with this farce Lord?
Must it continue to go on and on?
I thought for sure he just had an itch Lord,
but now I know I was dead wrong.
 
Is this what you want for me Lord?
To live every day without love?
What crime have I done to warrent
such punishment from my Lord above???
