The Power of Forgiveness and Separation

My love ran deep,

Deep through my veins. 

Despite your bitter speech,

And abusive mind games,

Yes, I still tried to make you happy,

I tried to keep you,

Even when you made me feel crappy.

 

 

I tried to save our marriage,

To me, it now sounds insane,

But I tried,

Yes, I cried,

But it was all in vain.

 

A marriage vow I had not taken lightly,

Questions now,

Still haunt me nightly. 

 

Left with no answers,

Only excuses. 

Rants and riots,

My heart bleeds,

It prefuses. 

 

Through prayer and good company,

My heart will mend. 

 

But to say I don't miss you,

I cannot pretend.

 

I can only say,

I wish you could change.

But day after day,

I can see you're still strange.

 

You are not the man I remember in my youth,

But maybe one day,

All hope won't be gone,

Maybe one day,

You will be like song.

 

A catchy tune,

That everyone likes to sing along.

 

Maybe one day,

You won't be a mess.

 

Maybe one day.

Maybe.

God bless.
