The past will always come to haunt you, they say,
The past will never go away,
It will cause grief if caught, they told me,
It will never be the same they said.
Why didn't I listen to them then?
Why did their advice fall on deaf ears?
Why didn't my heart accept the truth?
Why did I have to venture down that road again?
You, darling man, are my love,
my everything,
my one and only.
You, my husband, are everything to me,
you hold me at night when I'm tired,
you let me cry when I need to,
You love me for me,
and don't ask anything in return.
Darling man, I know you don't want to let it go,
but one day you'll need to,
one day you'll need to learn to trust me again,
and love me again.
Daily you throw it in my face how I hurt you,
I know what I did,
I know that I broke you're heart in two,
I know that you hate me,
I know that I'm sorry,
and I know you cant forgive me,
anytime soon.
I keep begging and pleading,
I keep crying and trying,
and yet, you wont let it go that I once loved him so,
he hasn't crossed my heart since that time I said it,
and he wont again trespass into my soul,
not by my wanting.
You keep bringing him back,
you keep throwing him there,
waiting for me to take the bait,
and try for him once more.
You don't understand how I love you,
or how badly I need you,
or how sweet your kisses are to me in the morn.
How could you not see the tears I cry,
or the pain I harbor,
or the fear of you leaving?
Before I loved him,
I have always loved you,
before time began I loved you.
You are my soul mate,
my life, my love,
you are the reason I go on in the morning,
the reason I smile,
the very reason my heart beats.
My darling husband don't forget it,
hold that hope like a candle,
and try and remember why you love me,
why you trust me.
Try and remember that you need me,
and I you,
and that we will be okay through this very tough time.

Well we all make mistakes.. do we forgive ourselves? Truly forgive? Not being true to someone is heartbreaking. It hurts you and them too. Trust me I was on the other side a year ago. Yes it took time for me to forgive him however I will never ever forget it. Give him time and you will see. Blessed Be! ~~Shannon~~ Oh I lost my husband over this same thing I did it too!

It's very hopeful, but I don't really think it was happy...I can relate a lot to it, although for me it's an ex boyfriend, not a participant in my cheat...but I know what it's like.
-
I really like this poem, it has so much feeling to it. In this poem are you talking about how you cheated on him, and are now asking for forgiveness? It seems like that. Even so, I hope he forgives you, and that you both find happiness. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry and good luck in my contest.
-
I can't quite find the words to explain how I feel about this piece. It's not amazing, but it's a well written apology. I don't in any way condone cheating and thats what it sounds like you did to your husband. I hope for your sake he forgives you...and gives you the chance to grovel at his feet because thats what he deserves.
This is a well penned piece though, and it has real heart and soul poured into it, I can tell that just by reading it. I'm not going to wish you luck in my contest, but good luck in your marraige....I have a feeling you'll need that more.
-
Soo...I'm wondering if he read this? I love this poem, though I was a tad nervous about reading it at first. You wrote everything beautifully. It's heart wrenching, truly. I love this poem. Great job.

what a great tribute you have so greatly penned for such a loved one!!! overall, I have to say he is one lucky husband to have you as such an adoring wife!!! there is so much love in this!!!
-
Try and remember that you need me,
and I you,
and that we will be okay through this very tough time.
amen...indeed it is a great heartfelt write my friend with so much honesty of life and with so much truth of this world as well..I find here a kind of panis of life which are waiting to be turned into the joy too..And pray for that ... a great work is here..

this is heart-breaking to read and i got so involved i found myself saying "why can't this man see how much he is loved and that he needs to let go of the fact that she once loved someone else". why do people do that? insecurity i guess
and you can't 'give' someone else their self-esteem.
wonderful writing
-
great.
I liked this poem very much. it reminded me of a poem I wrote a while back called "They"...check it out if you get a chance. let me know what you think. thanks for the great read here today. peace always.
-
if this is a true to life experience I hope that it all gets worked out...maybe him reading this would help? May I suggest though to run it through spell-check , as there are a few typos in it (probably due to haste). Best wishes,
reenie
