it has taken time
getting used to
waking mornings
without you
there beside me
still not understanding
why you wanted
to hurt me
remembering how
you used to
say you loved me
telling me not
to forget it
saying you couldn't
even imagine
life without me

remembering how
i gave my all
for your love
only to have
my love for you
chisled away
piece by piece
until there was
no love left
no sharing
for fear of
being demeaned
then came the
naked truth
that i would
be better off
without you
the pain of parting
still smarting
though not once
regretting having
given my all
for your love

Walking away with your head up on this one...I like the strength that comes through in this one.

These words then are the necessary ingredients to work out the pain and anguish, and to put you on the road of recovery and happiness. You're headed in the right direction.

A heartfelt write, Faith. Parting is never easy but I'm glad you're able to move on without regret.
