*Yet another revelation about the painful time that I went through with my husband. he and I have been speaking much abou this period in our lives recently, and we know that our understanding of each other helps us only to grow stronger. I urge everyone who reads this, if you have a loved one who ever hurt you, there are times when redemption is deserved, and when forgiveness brings happiness. I hope you like this. SMILE* You stood there accusing demanding to know why. I stood there silent my mind already set. You cried and you left yet you continued to return. Over and over. Each time demanding to know why. I cried so often, I felt the pain would never die. And then... then you destroyed me, betrayed me, violated me, killed me. And then you were gone. As you left I felt life returning. But as time passed I felt incomplete. I finally knew why. So I called upon you, asked you to be gentle, begged you to be different. And to my delight you were. No more accusing, no more anger, no more hatred. Only love. And I knew why. I knew why I had asked you to leave. Because you weren't you anymore. I knew why I asked you to return. Because you were yourself once more. I know why I have asked you to stay. Because you will love me as only you can evermore. And I love you. We are complete. "I am nae poet, in a sense; |

I knew why I had asked you to leave. Because you weren't you anymore. I knew why I asked you to return. Because you were yourself once more Familiar story for me. I like the way you've written it and glad yours has a happy ending. |

Reconciliation. It's tough, and takes a mountain of committment and humility to make it work a second time...even more than the first time around. At least, that's been true in my own limited experience. A very good write. Good luck to you both. |

You have taken the harder road but there will be many blessings as you travel it together. This is a tender and compassionate poem that shows love as it really is. Very well done.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
