The invite came stabbing my heart with pain
Bringing sorrow like rain
Poison bitterness flowed from my heart's abode
Anger wanted to exploded
Thoughts in my head wrestled on my bed
I must let them wed
The pain had to be released, anger must be ceased
For joy to be increased
To their union I will go, my support I must show
It is time to let go
My betrayer I will embrace; offering him grace
Forgiveness must erase
Whom God joins together will be bond by a tether
To endure stormy weather
Though the union is not wise, I am not to despise
But keep silent my cries
God is God, I am not; He binds the knot
To cut the ropes, I cannot
To his will I yield to what he has revealed
Trusting my heart will be healed

"When: Saturday, October 25, 1:00PM
God has taken our courtship all the way to the altar, and we invite you to join us there. It is our hope that you will be able to come and celebrate with us our testimony of God's love. "
The man who betrayed my heart and courted the woman he knew I loved more than any other is marrying her this Saturday. I received the invite and will accept it today. It is time to let go...

Bitter Test!
What an intense write! With each word I can feel the pain, the sense of betrayal, the knowing that you must let go. How difficult it is to watch another man marry the woman you love & to accept it knowing you must move on!
This is breaking my heart. One wonders why this kind of thing happens, but as you know only He has all the answers & has a reason for everything that He allows to happen. Thank you for your bravery in releasing this in words!

Oh Wow, this is so sad though. My heart aches for you and you are so strong to stand up and accept the invite and put your feelings aside. I'm so sad you've been hurt like this and I shall pray for you this weekend when the wedding takes place and in the evening!!!
You are a fine young man and it's not just him but also her. She must not be to healthy of a woman to have gone the other direction. I would just as you are pray for them both for they will need it Heaven knows. You my friend deserve much better and don't you settle for anything less.
Love is such a tricky feeling and so hard to overcome. Sounds like you really love her and I'm sure this will be very difficult for you. Again you are so brave to stand tall and show up to something so painful as watching the woman you loved get married to another man.
Your poem expressed your feelings very well and the ryhme is excellent as well as the flow. Keep writing for it helps us to get through the feelings, of hurt, anger and joy that embraces are very hearts and souls.
I just love you and I'm wishing you many blessings to come your way my friend,
Much Love

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was so filled with raw emotion and I don't think anyone could have written about this situation any better than this right here!!! It is full of grace and elegance and faith as well. You are the better for writing it and letting go for I believe God will bless you with a love like no other as a reward for your forgiveness of this man. You are showing much class and dignity in going to the wedding even though your heart feels like it is ripping apart. I hhave been in this situation, but not betrayed by anyone, just someone who I loved and am still great friends with married another and has moved on for sometime now, but we never had the chance to even go out on a date...he never gave me the chance to be more than friends...but I am ok with that because I know God has the one he created for me and only me somewhere down the road..and after one failed amrriage I will NEVER settle for less than God's best!!! You should n't either!!! God bless and may you now began to heal with this closure....Again ...Great Job on this piece!!!~~Toni~~
