It's time to take this old hurt and just let it bead up and roll away I was naive back then, not an excuse but very true Though I've cursed myself a thousand times since then I know that I hurt you But guess what my friend? I got hurt in the process too but never learned how to say that out loud Instead I allowed you to turn it all on me, as I faded into the crowd I said I was sorry, and I'll say it again It was myself who I hurt the most in the end I'm glad you moved on, all I ever wanted was for you to be happy and free Even if that meant being happy with someone other than me I too moved on, I only visit these pages when I need to release how I feel Instead though I was blindsided for only pouring out my heart I never knew having someone speak on your behalf was ever going to be the deal-- I was but a girl then, two years can change a person so much Back then I did hurt almost everything I touched I found myself though, and the reason I hurt so much inside Now I no longer try to hide I have embraced love, I have learned to accept me for me So now I will let this pain bead up and roll away I will no longer feel guilty Instead I will allow myself to be free I forgive myself, and I no longer care if you do too Amazing how in a split second it all came rushing back Amongst all the lies that were told, one thing remains very true We can't take back the things we say or do However we can move on, we can learn from our mistakes I've done just that So the pain is rolling off now like water, it's time I forgive myself for hurting you I'm done with the heartache, the countless times I've thought I was dirt Most of all though I'm done with blaming myself for something that definitely took two-- AMK November 17, 2004 "When life gives you sorrow, may you experience the spirit of laughter" |

However we can move on, we can learn from our mistakes I've done just that So the pain is rolling off now like water, it's time I forgive myself for hurting you I'm done with the heartache, the countless times I've thought I was dirt Most of all though I'm done with blaming myself Very well expressed Amy, and also a feeling I think many of us can sympathize with. You write it out here any time you feel like it gal.  The greatest beauty on earth, is |

Hi, Amy! With each poem of yours I read, I feel that I get to know you better. You write from the heart and bring the reader into your world. Learning life lessons can be difficult ~ but worth the rewards!  Linda |
