I'M Not Gonna Abort A Thing Poem by Ramona Thompson

Rewrite of Aerosmith's I Don' Wanna Miss A Thing

I can no longer take this fighting
Watch you smile so cruel
Tell me that there's no reason to keep it
'Cause it won't bring us any closer
You'll still keep on cheating
I guess I could give up again and to your selfish whims surrender
I could kiss the chances of ever having another baby away forever
I could back down from standing up to you
I know that would give you the most twisted kind of pleasure
But I won't....
'Cause....

I don't wanna close my eyes
No, not anymore
I don't wanna hear anymore of your lies
'Cause I hate you now
And yet still I love you
But honey, even for you
I ain't gonna abort nothing
'Cause even if it means finally losing you
I've gotta do what I have to do
'Cause not even for you am I gonna do it

No, no
I ain't gonna abort a thing
So through giving in to you
Now that I can feel this tiny heart inside of me beating
I've got a better dream that I've been dreaming
A better world in my world I've been seeing
And when I close my eyes I thank God
I've realized me and you can no longer go on like this together
I just wanna be done with you
And end this joke of a marriage forever

I don't wanna close my eyes
No, not anymore
I don't wanna hear anymore of your lies
'Cause I hate you now
And yet still I love you
But honey, even for you
I ain't gonna abort nothing
'Cause even if it means finally losing you
I've gotta do what I have to do
'Cause not even for you am I gonna do it

I'm not gonna abort my little one's future smile
I'm not gonna abort my babie's upcoming first kiss
Well, all I got left to say is that I'm through with you
This time I've really through with you
Oh yes, for even daring to ask
Honey, you can kiss this
'Cause all I want now and for always is to my baby close
Feel that little heart beat so close to mine
And leave you and this joke of a marriage behind
For all the rest of time

I don't wanna close my eyes
No, not anymore
I don't wanna hear anymore of your lies
'Cause I hate you now
And yet still I love you
But honey, even for you
I ain't gonna abort nothing
'Cause even if it means finally losing you
I've gotta do what I have to do
'Cause not even for you am I gonna do it
