Hell or Heaven



I had a nightmare I married the wrong one
The world turned to hell for the evil we had done
He cursed me so I cursed him
Our children learned so much hate
I had a dream of finding the right man
We were real
Far from perfect
He respected me so I respected him
Never allowing each others lights to dim
Our children learned there can be a happy home
