Afraid No More


I was afraid to care ---- I was afraid to share

My heart was afraid it might break in two
My whole inner being was afraid of the pain from loving you.

I wanted to share, I wanted to care
I wanted the security of your love
I wanted to grow old with you and be with you in heaven above.

I wanted to be your one and only wife
I wanted your arms around me keeping me safe from strife.

There was so much I wanted to say
It is so difficult now that you have gone away.

Let your conscious be your guide
I wasn’t unfaithful; you were the one who lied.

Now that time has gone by, and our lives have changed
My heart is healing, and my nerves are not deranged.

I am not afraid any more.

Goodness...I feel that I have written these
words (most of them) from time to time...
A very touching, sad and beautiful poem...

Thanks for stopping by.  Strength isn't the word - lots of hard work not to pick up the telephone and call him, but that would be taking a step backwards.  I am happy that you liked it.

Ariana,
a sad but strong write, you keep on keeping on.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Kethry:  Thank you for your words of encouragement and I am happy that you liked it.  It is sad, but the only way to get your thoughts out is to write about them.
