How can I give you every part of me?
A love that was once innocent and true,
now has turned to doubt and despair.
I gave you my heart to hold and cherish,
you took it only to break it with words and actions.
I wanted to believe you could change,
yet over the years you have grown more distant and cruel.
I have seen that I needed to separate,
if only to become a strong, healthy woman of God an example for our children.
Do I trust you to change?
I want to believe that you are sincere,
yet the words you use are all too familiar reminders of the past.
I want to believe you are sorry,
but you continue to use words and actions to hurt me.
I want to be in your arms, held close to your body,
and yet I know I only open my heart up for the pain that is sure to come.
I want to be renewed in our marriage,
but I need to see a true repentance in you.
Are you really committed to changing into the man of God who loves his wife and children?

Awww. my favorite line is "I want to be in you arms, held close to your body
and yet I know I only open my heat up for the pain that is sure to come"
Donna this poem is beautiful. I see a little of myself in you. I know how stupid that sounds, but It's true. You did really amazing on this one...way amazing. -

Wow, thanks. I can't believe how this flows at times! Thank you again for this gift you've encouraged me to use. I think it has so helped me process my mess of a life in ways I can't even begin to describe. This emotional roller coaster that I'm on.
