A Lover's Confession

A Lover’s Confession I can’t help why this is; I wonder often how it became What is it about me that makes them so insane? I love one ~ no I love two but then there is another Do I dare take part in yet the other or leave them all in despair I’m in search of the one who will no longer allow the pain Is she already here, or is she there, is she even on this earth I ponder this often and in the essence the others are in tears I drift in and out of their life in search of my wife Each has stolen a part of me and yet I fear they will set it free How much more can they take ~ how much more will I give The sorrow in their hearts has left scars in mine I will forgive but I cannot forget ~ I ask myself is the love still there Or is it just embracing the memory of what once was Is it time to move on ~ is it time to let go I am taking one step at a time in a backwards motion though Because I am blind to the future when I am walking the line It’s like standing still in time ~ will life pass me by I love one ~ no I love two but then there is another I feel myself splitting in half ~ I feel the cutting of my heart As each has stolen a part I cannot change who I am ~ I cannot change their fear I want them close but do I dare How do I know which one really cares? How do I know who is genuine or if they are real The repercussion of this mess is I will be the one to confess I love one ~ no I love two but then there is another G.Goodwin 5/31/07
