Who Knew

I sit and wonder each and every day, Why with you did I stay? Was it truly because It was just the way it was? Maybe it was because I felt love does endure. Or maybe just maybe I was not so sure. Maybe it was my price to pay, For getting my children taken away. Maybe being black and blue, Could match the emotional pain I was going through. Maybe it can never be enough, You see this pain is just too rough! I tried to change you and me. For now I know that was never to be. Now the time has come to let you go, But the pain of you is all I know. The good times that we had, Will always be outweighed by the bad. I wish I could forget us even from the start, But unfortunately you still have a piece of my heart. I never thought I would have this to say, You are the one regret I have to this day! You cost me more than heartache and pain. You made me feel so insane. I may never know all my reasons for staying, As to this day I am still paying. I have now walked away from you, To try to start life anew. The day has come, who knew? The day that I regret ever loving you.

You express the heartache of lost love very well in this captivating poem, Kristy. Starting your life over again may seem difficult, but in time I hope you will find lasting happiness. The "insanity" you describe is a feeling shared by many people who grieve. Spring is a great time to begin life anew. Love, Carolyn
