The guilt I feel grows with every breath I take making my stomach sick wanting to stop the pain and stop my breath but knowing cowardice is worse worse than the sting of my betrayal fresh and raw like the lick of a whip The shame of my selfish night bears down on me but i am weak too weak to carry this weight too weak to put down the glass and walk away The tears I cry fill my hollow heart my soul left empty and alone searching for relief from this unbearable pain Screaming foolish I'm sorrys into the wind their cold uslessness a harsh reminder as they are blown back at me The sound of your haunted weeping carried on the wind cuts my soul and shatters my world As your pain becomes mine i lose my name not deserving it's purity liar and fake above my acts Alone and lost I wander this world nameless and full of shame hoping to disappear to change the past looking for myself picking up the shattered remnants as i go The girl I once knew is gone her lies exposed, never to return two broken souls left in her place crushed by her choices Only after the one I love is whole again can i forgive myself maybe then i will heal and this wound will close leaving a scar, deep and red an eternal reminder of my weakness [This message has been edited by loved_and_redeemed (01-03-2006 08:03 PM).] |

The hardest person to forgive is yourself. Your pain is apparent in this well written piece. I wish you peace.  |

this poem is great it makes my heart ache. The person that did this too you must be a complete jerk and must feel horrible for the pain that he has caused. |

We all do wrong things, but not all of us are truly sorry. You are, and that is the first step to forgiving yourself which is important, amongst other reasons, so that you don't do the same thing again. He will eventually forgive you too if he is worth his salt, and your sorrow at what you did, will help him do so. This terrible sadness will pass, both for you and him. Hugs Owl |

Thanks everyone, you're support is awesome. Eliyah, that's the problem, he's not a complete jerk, that would make things so much easier. I hope he doesn't feel horrible, I feel enough guilt for both of us. I only want him to know how much he hurt me, how much I hurt him, how much we hurt eachother. |
