Brenda Weemes - These Prison Walls

Brenda Weemes - These Prison Walls

She touches the wall br Etched carvings dug deep br From a past... br She gave him her heart br He gave her grief br She gave him a Son br He turned away.... br br The walls of time, caked with memories br Memories of a time... the world felt as if it stood still br She said I do.. br He said I love you.. br She gave him 3 sons and a Daughter br He gave her pain.... br br A hidden mask, she puts forth a smile, a kind word br But beneath she hurts, tired and saddened that what once was br isn't there any more br She gave him her Heart br He took it in his hands and wrung it br She gave him everything that was Her br He gave her nothing but pain in return... br br br br The marriage bed place of love br Went to Shame for that is where... the pain began br She gave him her soul to cherish and hold br He gave her pain, despite it all. br She gave him tenderness br He shrugged it away br She gave him herself... br He brought her Pain br br The years swirl around, life's a maze br She touched the wall, her prison, her name br Once a year... the pain was near... br She gave him 19 years... br He's sending it all away br She gave him nothing but herself br He pushed her away... br She found someone new... br He doesn't have a clue... br br He's losing her... he's losing me... br I am that woman... touching the wall... br My prison... my life... but I will rise again...
