On A Journey To The Unknown

No More Chances
~By Sue~

He sounded like he was not sure
Whether he wanted me to leave
What he does not realize now, is
It is not up to him, it is up to me

Each and everyday he has been gone
Leaving me with my mind to wonder
And to think about all that he has done
For me to leave I really think is better

He always showed very little concern
For any of the dreams I might have had
Everything I tried to talk to him about
He always made it sound like it was bad

The only things he talked about having
Were only the things he was interested in
Anything that I might have wanted to have
He always acted like it was a real bad sin

So it is my choice to leave him here behind
I have no desire to even give it another try
After all of the things he has said and done
There will be no more chances for him to lie

You Go Girl !! Well done. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Lots of times we think they've changed, but it's really that our vision has become clear.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very powerfully sad, I'm sorry that he never changed for you but it is his loss as love can't change someone but it is ones own self that does! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, you go girl, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh Sue, I am so impressed with the 'power' coming out of you! You go girl! And don't look back.

It's gonna hurt, but look how far you've come in just a few weeks. You are one amazing woman.

Bless you, Hugs, Marti

Remember the words of the A.A.'s serenity prayer.Give me the power to change the things I can change.The strenght to accept the things I can't change and the wisdom to know the differance.Co-dependency is a tough chain to break.My best wishes are with you.

This poem gives me the feeling that you are feeling liberated and powerful...
I admire you, Sue...
It takes a lot of courage to leave a bad relationship for the unknown of the future.

YES! It is always your choice. You are as your name declares, a smart chick.
