For so long,
I’ve been blind,
To see the love,
That now I find,
It breaks my heart,
For what I’ve done,
And makes me feel,
Like he has won,
But even though,
We both did wrong,
One would love,
While the other wronged,
And only if,
We could go back,
Change our sins,
Gain what we lack,
But deep inside,
I know in my heart,
That once a loved one,
Breaks your heart,
The past is gone,
The future hard,
To fight the battle,
To heal the scar,
And still the good,
Inside us all,
Prays to God,
To break that wall,
That holds us captive,
Day and night,
Keeping away,
God’s healing light,
The harder we fight,
The harder we fall,
But in the end,
We tear down that wall,
That memories linger,
Tears and pain,
Broken hearts,
But still we gain,
The very best,
From the ones we love,
The greatest gift,
From heaven above,
The chance to start,
Over again,
To make things right,
And finally win,
The battle we lost,
But the war we win,
For the love we share,
Is held within,
And I love you,
Mean’s so much more,
Then words we say,
And don’t know what for,
For I was blind,
But now I see,
Past the pain,
And on with the real me,
Stronger and wiser,
Than I once was,
Giving me strength,
For you whom I love,
And no matter what,
If you leave or stay,
I will love you forever,
Forever this way,
I forgive you,
Please forgive me,
And now I leave you,
With you to finally see,
Search your heart,
For you will find,
The right answer,
Not from the mind,
But deeper within,
The love though once lost,
Can still be relived,
Found and not lost,
For now we have seen,
What loved ones can do,
Even if inside their hearts,
Their love was so true,
So now I leave you here,
For you to have your say,
Leave and walk away from me,
Or forgive me and love me the right way~

Wow - I love this poem.. It says so very much.. I'm going to make a copy and give it to my STBX Wife.. There is nothing I can do to stop her from leaving - but I know that we both still love each other very much. She is just so deep in a fog, she can't see it. As she says - she knows there isn't anything between us that can't be fixed, but she doesn't "want" to fix it. She wants to be single and fancy free, and away from the pressure of our relationship. Unfortunately not only am I going to pay the price for her decision, but our two children are as well.. Thank you so much for this poem. Good luck to you, and God-Speed.

This is a POWERFUL poem. I saved it and would love to send it to my seperated spouse if I did not think it would push her further away. To me this poem tells me everyone makes mistakes and sometimes you have to be at the end of your being before your realize what you are losing. However, it also tells me anything can be fixed and corrected if BOTH people want to make the effort. Thank you for sharing this poem with the group.

Thank you~ I was at work and just had to express myself with words and how it feels to loose something but know in your heart at the same time that you must learn to move on if thats what God calls for you to do~ I am blessed with God's gift to write so if I can, I will post more inspirational poems~ I am so glad you could relate~ <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />~
