I spent an age in monogamous love
I gave my all to give my family enough
And after 20 years of this
The love dissapeared and no longer exists,
Except for my children who have my heart
I am sad though the family was torn apart.
But the damage of staying would have been much worse
And endless cycle of recriminations and hurt
But out of this came 3 daughters so sweet
I can not regret giving so much of me
But we were so young when it all begun
And we changed as we grew
Then troubles were then spun
And though we worked hard to find a way through
I knew it was the end, the point it was mute.
But I have no regrets for the time that I spent
Invested in marriage even though the love went
Dissipated I am afraid to admit
Over indulged loves true limit
But I learnt many lessons
And take positives from this.
It helped me realize that the love still exists.
It’s not made me bitter, not made me mad,
Though reflecting I may dwell and feel a little sad
But it’s more for my daughter’s but they are beautiful and strong
And they knew staying together would have been wrong,
And though at the time it got messy and bad
We are all now through it with new lives being had.
Happiness now has been restored
And everyone’s loving a whole lot more,
Because times a great healer
If you let go of the pain,
And put your love into your faith,
And it will be returned to you again and again,
And will see you back to the heart
Graceful and safe.
God you have no idea how much this post meant to me ….Thankyou:):):):)
