Eugenie Lacroix Poem
I thought it was over the day you walked out that door,
I didn't know that I could still go on.
The day I learned of your new life and that you were happy,
I decided to let you go and let you live your life without me.
You lied when you said that you didn't love me still,
You looked me in the eye and you said goodbye.
I decided to move on too and forget about you ,
It took many years and tears to stop missing you.
I wish to this day that you hadn't let me go,
That you would walk back through the door like my prince charming.
But you never did, you left me and never looked back.
I struggled and I fought for the life I have now.
You lied when you said you didn't love me still,
Yet you still moved on and gave your heart to another.
I decided to start over because I was so young,
I lived my life alone with my shattered broken heart.
You made me believe I could love no more,
But I did start loving someone else.
That broken spirit was me when I found her,
I hugged her tight and told her I loved her.
I still feel the emptiness in my soul since the day you left,
Never to love anyone as I did you.
Is it wrong for me to miss you, the way you felt in my arms,
Is it a sin to dream of what could have been.
My Love wasn't enough for you to stay,
But still you turned your back on me and left anyway.
You lied when you said that you didn't love me still,
You looked me in the eye and said goodbye.

Eugenie Lacroix Poem
Afraid to feel and afraid to know,
What my emotions may bring.
Numbness washes over me like a tsunami of pretend.
Denial and pretending is such an easy way of avoidance.
But can also be more detrimental than the truth itself in the long run.
I never realized how much fear has paralyzed me on so many levels to be able to love myself.
I feel stronger very day.
I avoid feelings because then the failure seems less painful and unjust.
I must practice what I preach and face the things I fear the most.
I want to obtain the skill to let go of the things I must not and cannot control.
Knowing and believing that control is another survival mechanism,
I will do my best to let go and release the chains that bind me to this unhealthy place in my life.
I must realize my reality and won up to what I have become.
A diamond in the rough.
