A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

A wolf in sheep's clothing; that's what you were.

You pursued me; and wooed me;

Until my vision was blurred.

You charmed me and loved me; but it was through deceit

I was standing tall; until you came along

And knocked me off of my feet.

I trusted you, believed you; with all of my heart;

Never knowing a year later; it would tear me apart.

You said the right things; you played the game well;

You asked me to marry you; and that's where I fell.

You left us stranded in the middle of nowhere;

Uncaring like a wolf; and viscous like a bear.

You took us to the place that you called home;

Then, left us there to struggle all alone. 

We trusted you; we let you in;

It changed our lives; and left me questioning.

You hurt us then walked away ;

Didn't know how I would find my way.

It is you now; who probably can't sleep;

But God has now surrounded us with precious sheep.

I never thought I could heal over you;

But God kept us and brought us through.

My life is moving along; even if it's slow.

But God is with us always;

This one thing is certain; I know.

Accepting hardship is never easy;

But through the years it has helped me grow.

You got me off guard like a thief in the night;

And caught me at a moment;

When I was too weak to fight.

My daughters were hurting;

And all you could do;

Was run like a coward; and reveal the real you. 

My heart is healed now and I am set free;

From the wolf in sheep's clothing;

That once deceived me.
