If by chance I run into
That person from my past
Do I stop and talk to them
Or run away so fast
Can I face what used to be
When the hurt is still right there
Why is it that the time has come
For me to voice my share
I really do, feel I need
The reason why he fled
8 Years of love he threw away
Plus one year of being wed
Though now I know what I must do
I'll face this tall and strong
For now I know it wasn't me
He's the one gone wrong

This is a very deep poem. I hope life gets easier for you and the pain gets easier over time.

Dear Child of God you are in my prayers. I pray you have what you say in the name of Jesus. That you continue to speak from the heart. The poem is precise in statement though lacking in punctuation which I myself do not always follow.
Each line capitalization isn't necessary. The criticism is not something I am comfortable with as a rule, only doing so because you asked. I strongly believe you would create a better poem if you poored your heart out on paper first then edit for your reader. However, this poem is well expressive of your feelings at the time.
Peace in light and love

I had these exact thoughts recently. I had been dating an abusive guy for more than a year and a half. Last week I talked to my him for the first time in 7 months and he was nicer to me than when we had been dating.
I decided to talk to him again because walking past him everyday...everytime we passed I felt my heart surging with hate. It wasnt healthy.
You're still hurting, and it takes time to heal. You'll be okay. I promise.
I wish the best to you.

thanks for entering -
I'm so sorry to hear... but it's great that poetry can be a release, and you can express yourself through poetry cause i know that it helps me when life sucks.
Anyway, I love the whole poem.
