Wanting to hurt you
yes indeed
wanting to bring you to your knees
wanting to love you
i would try
to hear only your sad goodbye.
Soul crying, i was dying
prayed you wouldn't walk
back in
how would i
begin again.
Wished i could hurt you
yes indeed
welcome you back to watch you bleed
but that would not be loving you
so i would try
to say good by.
Soul screaming, not dreaming
love turned sour by
your sin
how could i
begin again.
Could have hurt you
yes indeed
but in forgiveness grows a seed
of freedom from my nightmare grasp
in peace of mind
i said goodbye.
Soul crying, but not dying
i lived to love
another day
began again and
found my way.
You thought you got the
best of me
but forgiveness set my heart free
to love once more while wishing you
the peace of mind
to say goodbye.

NICEY MICEY--could be option 1 or 2, you choose 
.
In collaboration with Heart on Sleeve. She gave me the first verse and the inspiration to finish the piece. Lower case --i-- intended.
Dedicated to those who take all we have then leave us laying in a puddle of our own sorrow. It was a long time coming, but I can finally honestly wish you well and count the many blessings I have found in the wake of your departure.

Keep trying till ya get it right was always my motto . Fortunately, I was able to leave the baggage behind and go on to better things. It took some time and much screaming at nothing, but I am finally in one of those relationships that makes all the previous efforts worth it. I think I finally got it right

Strange how we go through so many emotions when this happens, the searing anger, that soul tearing pain that is physical, the mourning for the loss of what was and could have been, the fear of being alone again, this one is the dangerous one, so many mistakes made here... then slowly acceptance, healing and if you are lucky forgiveness.. then bugger me if you don't get right back on the merry go round and start again
Sorry got lost in my thoughts there, excellent piece, you show your anger and forgiveness in a few short lines.
