My Stubborn Heart

My stubborn heart refuses to stop loving you 
My heart is convinced you are my beginning and my ending, the one that completes me
There is no reasoning with my heart 
No matter what I say, my heart is fixed on its position 
After all the hurt and pain my heart forgives you... How can this be? 
My stupid heart 
My foolish heart 
My stubborn heart refuses to stop loving you 

After all the lies... My heart still forgives you 
No matter how I fight my heart always win 
My heart refuses to change 
We all make mistakes.... My heart keeps telling me I am not free of mistakes...questioning me... Didn't you lie too?  My heart keeps telling me I am not blameless... When will I realize love and forgiveness is true happiness 

He stepped all over me... He broke us ... My heart says "l did the same "
My heart is open but my mind refuses to try again

How can you forgive him... How? I question my heart
I don't know how to move on... I am in crisis with my heart 
My stubborn, stupid and foolish heart refuses to stop loving you.

Karen Edwards-Gregory October 24, 2017 at 2:38 AM The heart is telling you to forgive, not for him but for you. Forgiveness gives us a chance to love again, even if it's not the same person. Let your heart guide you to forgive, for your peace of mind...Let him go and if he loved you he will return. Powerful...I loved this piece...love is so powerful.
