Strong Without You
by Luanne Crosby

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇
This sums up being in an abusive relationship and finding the strength to escape, survive and thrive.
That hthist ime next year troubles will be miles away
I had no faith in myself, I thought I was weak
I couldn’t stand up and shout, you know I couldn’t even speak
It was easy for you to take my power an dmy pride
If you took anymore there’d be nothing left inside
Here I am
I landed on my feet
I know it was you
Who made my life incomplete
It must be your doing
I feel so alive
When you tried to destroy me
What else could I do but survive?
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong without you
I never thought I could be strong
I never thought I could be strong
I never thought I could be strong
Where’s my heart?
