he died the other night
he died in my mind
then slowly in my heart
for years i gave him all of me
then he died so suddenly
i watched while he killed me
then left abruptly
now he has left
i wish i could tell my son his daddy was a good man
but after all i've been thru that would be a lie
but i will remember the good times
and share those with him
so much bad he took with him
blessed i am that he has passed
now he can stop poisoning my ass
he can stop polluting my life
with his ill will
he died the other night
and part of me died too
but it was the part that was poisoned by him
his death is hard
but i bury him with all the fights, the cheating and lies
with the pain he caused
he is gone
no need to keep holding on
he isnt here to lead me on
he died the other night
and all i have left is his seed
the son he didnt want
the son that belongs to me
he died the other night
and i cant cry anymore
now i can bolt down the door
my heart wont be open anymore
he died the other night
and all i can say
is good riddens to all his pain
