Loves Forked Road

Loves forked road 

No longer side by side are we
When we drifted apart neither could see.

But  here we stand so far apart
Hoping and wishing for a better start.

Our love we say, still exists deep within
Yet our treatment of each other feels like  sin.

Unable to talk, so quickly anger arouse
Feelings are hurt, deep infliction housed.

 Remedy we know, we must quick find
Both searching desperately within our minds.

For in one condition we have firmly agree
To continue this way and end must  to see.

Yet down this road ,now the the fork we reach
One leads to a new future, the other we must cease.

The ending road neither wish to travel yet
For memories of our love we still hope to get.

The other road an agreement we hope to make
Together side by side, hand in hand to take.

But in our contract these values must follow
To love, honor, respect and in friendship to go.

For these old standing patterns of agreement
Must be replaced with new, the old is sent

Sent to the past forever to lie,
Buried deep away like a funeral must die.

In dedication to our future reunited love
In support and respect to each other made of.

So our hurts and betrayal must be put to rest
And with this new beginning extent of our love test.

For what brought us together most powerful strong
I pray each day no error we made for wrong.

Fall in love again impossible, some  may say
But let us try this with every passing day…

No more cruel words ,no distance of soul
All things written above, these shall be our goal.

Inspiration has found me, with a new beginning
That promise I make to you …our love …no more sinning

Catherine - Sorry about my last comment it just really hit home with me - You have the answer in this poem for letting go of the past and moving forwards is the key - When my wife and i were on dope it was like cats and dogs but that was a past life and we let all of that go never bring any of it up at all - from this day forwards - Loved this poem - God Bless, MJ
