Branded by my mistakes I shall always wear my sins splashed in red across any part of me that might have been beautiful in your eyes So many times I wished my tears of genuine sorrow might have washed me clean in your eyes They didn't But yet I found forgiveness granted elsewhere Everywhere else, except with you And in the end forgiving myself meant losing you A terrible cost until I realized your love of perfection came far above your love for me |

I would have to record every line of this to tell you which is my favorite. Incredible write! Thought, emotion...to words! A great strength of humility to this. Speak when you are angry--and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret...Laurence J. Peter [This message has been edited by JLR (edited 04-23-2001).] |

Tessa~ How quickly we learn that there is no such thing as perfection ... 'And in the end forgiving myself meant losing you' A difficult, but wise, decision. Nicely done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
