                ~*~Contentment~*~

A feeling not known by my heart in a very long time
So many things caused my once perfect life to stop on a dime

A nine year old girl coping with her parents divorce
It was like a hurricane through my life killing me with it's force

A very broken heart lying in pieces on the floor
Brought thoughts of suicide to end my endless pain forevermore

My best friend's death only brought more darkness to my days
Why couldn't I find the way out of this painful maze?

Unrequited love ending with "I'm not really sure"
I begged the lord "please just give me a cure"

A slow petal drifting away into the sky
As I slowy realized that I had found the perfect guy!

Yes, it's you my dearest Chris
Ever since you came into my life it's been complete and total bliss.

You made me thankful that I never really died
And even more thankful for all the lonely tears I cried

You opened my eyes and made me truly see
What it was the lord had in store for me

You're an angel sent to me from above.
You're my "one and only"; my TRUE LOVE!!

Hey Jessica,I'm glad your back.  This poem touches really close to home for me because first of all my parents divorced when I was 10.  I too have battled very much with suicide, and serious depression.  Its great that you have found true love.  I wish that I could say the same.  Post more suff, I like it.

Acire~Thank you soo much! I'm glad you liked it and I'm glad I'm finally happy too. This is one of my few (and I mean very few) poems with a happy ending.

Jason~I'm sorry to hear you've had to feel the same pain I have! I would never wish it upon anyone! NO one deserves that much pain!!!Sucicide is very upsetting to me now.

This is a beautiful poem. I'm so glad that you've found someone who makes you feel this way. I have a question, where can I get one???

Lovebug~well, this is what ya do...You visit a little store I like to call Heartbreak. You buy a few heartaches and go through a lot of pain and as a consolation they send you a wonderful guy who treats you like an angel and loves you more than anything!!   Just kidding!!!!! hehehe To tell you the truth, that is how it seemed! I found a lot of heart ache before I found Chris, but I'll tell you this much...You will find that special someone! And when you do, it's gonna be like 7th heaven or something of the sort. lol. I hope you do find the perfect one just for you!! Keep your chin up until then, and just remember that sometimes we have to go through bad stuff to make us realize what the good things are truly worth!!!

well done indeed! i am impressed and moved. this was fantastic. the story of your life; nice, neat, and the emotion not left out. and contentment seems to be a rather lacking thing in the world these days. that and redemption. it would seem you've found a great supply of both. congrats.
oh. and by the by, you've got my vote. the world needs more o' this kinda stuff in it.

We all got somethin' to atone for.
