Say Goodbye To Regret

Often times I wonder what if we never met? Would I have never suffered years of self hatred & regret? Looking back should have known Probably should have even heard You hurt me so bad the feeling goes way beyond words If 2 worlds never came together that Spring day Leaving me with a pain that never really fully goes away I trusted you perhaps I simply refused to SEE Than you went made a complete FOOL out of ME Was she worth it? so full of envy & jealousy Did you FORGET one minor detail that you HAD a FAMILY? I TRUSTED you and gave you my whole heart Slowly but surely your shallow LIES tore it apart Thought I knew YOU why didnt I SEE? What did she have that you picked HER over ME? We took a vow I was yours you were suppose to be mine Was she simply convenient holeright place right time? Cant believe how you could look me in the eyes Should have listened to my gut instead of your LIES YOU got the easy way out u got to die I was left to do my best & survive I got to sit around self destruct all ALONE and just cry OUR daughter almost 3 yrs old barely a month shy Night after night her tiny voice asking me WHY Mommy WHY? Where did Daddy go did he say bye bye? Now FOREVER questioning eveything Men do or say Possibly a blessing that fateful November day Your lies torn down the 8 years that WE built NO LONGER will I beat myself up with the guilt Now my life is HAPPY a wonderful Man I have finally met I have moved on forgiven you but shall never forget Time to free myself and say goodbye to REGRET

what a story, we put so much power in a relationship and how easy it does harm us, like sharpening a blade only to have it cut. The good thing is blood regrows, we may have scars but that is the fuel for poetry like this. best wishes if this is a true write.
