ME. In the Shadow of the Mt.

I'm in pain
It's my own doing
My heart aches
love, guilt and shame

I hurt the one I love
Life will never be the same
My heart crys,
I'm the only one to blame!

Was my life worth it?
Did I waste it away?
I made too many mistakes
It's my time to pay

If only I could go back
To start over would be oh so nice
To do things right this time
I would pay any price

But life is not so forgiving
Our time is slipping away
Too much time has passed by
You would never forgive me anyway

Your road has been traveled by many and your words echo their combined loss. Your pain too shall pass, but there will always be the scar to remind... live and learn. Peace to you.

Looking back...and playing the what if game, leads us to regrets. Looking forward, and learning from our mistakes, leads us to hope..

a universal set of emotions in this write....I doubt there are many if any of us who can not look back and see where we lost someone, where we made mistakes...

Thanks everyone. It's been four years since my divorce and the pain has passed. I have a new man in my life and we are very much in love. He is a past love from 25yrs ago  that came back into my life.

Sounds like you have the opportunity to do it over and correct the mistakes. How lucky you are to have an old love back in your life. I think relationships between old flames can be very special.
