Our Purpose

I took your presence everywhere that I went.
So much devotion and time that was spent.
Fixing the wreckage i unmistakeably caused.
So much was broken, it was all flawed.
As I tried harder the pieces still fell apart.
What am I to do without half of my heart?
Time did uncover the wreckage was not of repair.
But how to move on when so much i still care?
How to progress and move on so strong when you were a piece of me for so very long.
I understand our love is too damaged to grow or be sustained but how do I get passed every
memory that's now pained?
It helps to know there was a purpose in our lingering love affair.
Our beautiful children entered the world with their special gifts to share
