I'm ashamed of all I've been through
Cuz I know the fault lands on me
I should have seen the truth sooner
But his "said" love blinded me
I'm ashamed of all I let him do
All those times I should have stood firm
But his "said" love broke my resolve
Why didn't I ever learn?
I'm ashamed of all, myself, have done
The emotional pain I could not handle
The physical pain I tried to cover it with
And slowly dieing was my life's candle
But then you found me
And his "said" love was silenced
Never more to speak a word
To break down my defiance
Now I'm free and loving you
Your love set my heart free
Thanks to you I now know love
Thanks to you I can see
Author notes
Not my best but they never are for contests. this is sort of a mix of the options shame and love. i'm ashamed that i let myself be blinded for so long but the person who rescued me from my sightless love is now the love of my life. we've been through some hard times together but we have never stopped loving each other

Oh wow this is really awesome!
I like how you refer to his affection as his "said' love.
That statement says so much.
Before my husband I was in a relationship for 3 years with a man who beat me up on a regular basis, my husband gets the credit for my awakening and my life.
I know what you mean about the shame and about finding the true love.
Hold onto that true love babes! It's a blessing from God and with true love comes a happiness and joy that can not be explained.
Bravo poet! -
