Unlucky In Love

Unforgiven but still in love
Out of control I caused you harm
I slipped fell down bruised and aching
but God pushed me back only to help me up
When the fog cleared I looked back to see the damage done
All the doors began to shut I knocked and no one answered
No one believed that I had changed
But the past was too soon it followed me
unforgiven but still in love
You tell me it’s alright forgotten but nothing changes
A friendly handshake a tense hug carefully chosen pauses
But I am still waiting to change in a heartbeat
when you call my name like you did before
You were a shelter from my storm

Timothy Ray Date: 11/13/2022 8:14:00 PM quite the exercise in coming to the truth within...accurate in so many details and...unfortunately captures a small distant path of my own....a mistake i never repeated and decades later i still always remember her birthday, gone are flowers and candy....now it is Burt Bees purse size hand creams...learned, forget, forgive, and move on...Let go and Let God Login to Reply

Faraz Ajmal Date: 6/1/2017 12:34:00 PM Such a beautiful poem, remember always try to change yourself before the damage has been done becuase after the damage if you do change it wouldn t be of much use however I m new on this site and would really appreciate if you could find time to read my poems and give your honest reviews about them Login to Reply

Edlynn Nau Date: 8/14/2015 7:53:00 PM I have to ask...what storm? If love is seen as a ”storm" it is not love but a one-sided event! Go away from that! REAL love is defiantly two-sided! Login to Reply

I could certainly identify with it and it inspired me to write this. Thanks for the comment.
