Before you and I, just I existed
A girl in the world of Cinderella's and kisses
To say I fought each and every battle
Understated! How each year I felt like cattle
Led by my love and a woven noose
Soon found my faith butchered like a Thanksgiving goose
Pretty words turned to mountains of ice and sludge
And "I do"? Nothing more than than a street to trudge
"No more! I cried. No more lies and feeling crappy
"As a woman, bright and strong, I deserve to be happy!"
Under the noose, I bucked. Off with love and a spurned marriage!
Burned with forgotten vows and bittersweet caresses
After years of war and battles, never forfeit or won
After years of you and I, you frayed. I moved on
