I understand

When I woke up this morning,

after tossing and turning all night...

I think that I may have slept for a little

over an hour.

I prayed and asked God to help me understand,

how can a person keep hurting another....

even if I have forgiven them.

Well his answer to me was,

this man don't have Love....True Love

for himself.

I started to feel sorry for you,

but then another part of me

thought 'you have to want help'

and I know you honestly think

that nothing is wrong.

I used to think, that I would just die

if I didn't have you in my Life...

when honestly, I can say

that you haven't been a part of my life

for a long time now.

To think that everything you do is justified,

you've tried, convicted, and sentenced

without getting to really know

the new Birth within me.

You forgot all the times,

that I did great things, not to gain any props,

but as your significant other.

You know during my Life

I've done a lot of things, not pleasing

however, I have made a lot of progress.

Not perfect, just trying to make things right,

where I have done wrong.

Not to say that for the rest of my Life

I am to be hald accountable for every little

detail of my mishaps.
I've als  accepted the facts that
you will never Love me

the way I deserve to be.
I'm not angry,

maybe a little disappointed, because

I made another mistake of thinking

that you changed.

Still I stand strong on my goals in Life,
as time awaits for no one.

I love you, dearly,

but I love you enough...

to let you go.
You don't have to say or do anything else,
I get it, and you know what?

I didn't even cry, this time.

    Powerful write, Sis. The ending really had a sense of strength in it, but also a feeling of emptiness, like the past doesn't necessarily matter after awhile. Sometimes it's best to forget what we would like to have in life and remember what we deserve, whether that be the love found in God or love found somewhere else. Thanks for sharing and keep that pen flowing.
