Proceed To Live

Consistent in your hopelessness, Confused about your uselessness, Condemned into your ruthlessness, I pray I find my fearlessness, Untamed and wild you broke me down, Truth... “What goes around comes around.” Astounded from your dirty lies, I've wiped away my crying eyes, Learning of your contained disguise, All the wonders of what's and why's, Alone at night because of you, I blame myself that we are through. Believing in your confidence, You rail my false incompetence, You fed off my nonexistence, No need for my own assistance, Controlling my sad sanity, By your indignant vanity. I lay in bed...what should I do? Explaining why he is untrue, I hear what I already knew, My heart undone and misconstrued, I sleep again and will forgive, For him I shall proceed to live.

I looked and saw a form feminine as you; and words you penned as gem, empowering. Bless you.

This is very well executed, Laura. You have built up on your former use of this form. When relationships go sour, it is never easy trying to point out the reasons for it, and who really was at fault. ~ Have a lovely weekend. // paul
