The Sorrow of Remembering Have you ever had to walk on tiptoe? walking on eggshells so as not to break that silence and turn the attention toward you? Of trying to keep the peace, when there was no peace to be kept? Of hiding your eyes to the world, So they wouldn’t know how much you have wept? Smiling at all the right people Saying what they wanted to hear Then not wanting to go home at night Knowing you were living in fear. Have you ever not wanted to wake up Just to die in your restless sleep To keep holding onto each tomorrow Just made you wake up and weep. To live in that dreaded damnation With feeling all bottled inside And you think no one else will understand What you’re feeling and fears, you still hide. The last thing you think of at nightfall And the first that awaits you with dawn Is the fact you you’re feeling so hated And you’re living with satan’s own spawn. So you take all you can till you’re empty And there’ nothing left to give away Then you walk out with no regrets forever But still in your mind memories play.

"And you’re living with satan’s own spawn. So you take all you can till you’re empty And there’ nothing left to give away Then you walk out with no regrets forever But still in your mind memories play." Great write Lacydee. JL  What I used to do with one hand tied behind my back now requires every muscle in my body, cohesively. |

I wonder if you would regret that you stayed so long...sound like the experiences of living with a controlling, manipulation person...James |

You know, I did regret it, at one time, but now I feel like it was a preparation period. I am not longer bitter, I am free! Thanks for reading and for the kind comment. Dee as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. |

My ex-wife told me that she regretted staying with me so long...I can sympathize with her...I was no prize at that time...I hope I am more desirable now...I'm not sure of her desire to forgive me...but I hope she does as foregiveness sets the person that forgives free...James |

this is so true..not forgiving is like walking thru life with a weight around your ankle. It hinders no one but the one who can't forgive. thanks for all the nice comments. Dee as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. |
