On A Journey To The Unknown

Just Another Stage







Do you remember the time I
had to find my own way home
from the hospital the next day
because you refused to come

Something was wrong with my heart
is what they had said to me, so
they had kept me overnight that time
and you left me there all alone

That was the most uncaring thing
you could have done
It didn't even matter to you at all
that I had no one

To me, it no longer mattered that
it was because you were drinking
I had gotten to the point that I
was no longer, as forgiving

Yet, you had it in your head
that we could still be friends
For you to even think that way
I couldn't even understand

The love I once felt for you
is no longer there
because it is clear to me
you really didn't care

The pain I had once felt
has all turned to anger
In some ways I think it
is a whole lot better

It's just one more stage
I will have to go through
all because of those things
you chose to do

Sue, it will get better...time doesn't really heal no matter how the saying goes, but it does make the pain fade and allow for happiness.

Sweet Sue, how horrible that must have been for you! Well, that "stage" in your life is behind you and you are on to another! ~ and with it has come freedom, independence and growth!

Hugging you! ~ and patting you on the back!

Loveya!

An excellent vent/write/post, Sue.  

At the very least, you can tell it
like it is/was...

and go forward from here.
