My ignorant inner child
Perhaps more blind than naive
Choosing not to understand
The reasons you wish to leave
I've seen fragments of her picture
Glimpsed her tender soul
The hope that you have given her
Mending her spirit whole
I've done my best to be angry
To feed my jealous heart
But what use to grieve your troubled mind
I've never had you from the start
So, quietly I'll leave you now
As a friend that you once knew
Who wishes you joy in the love you've found
My final gift to you.....

Oh wow, Sheila!  This was GREAT and very powerful.  Walking away is very difficult and yet especially given him to another woman.  Excellent final gift to the man you love even though I am sure the pain hurts greatly.

Peace,

Once upon a time there was a light in my life, now theres only love in the dark, There's nothing I can do, a total eclipse of the heart.
