this is a poem I wrote as part of my quest to move past my ex-husband

[morgaine1981]

The Challenge

It won't be so easy, like it was in the past.
I refuse to fall too hard or too fast.
It's taking too long for me to let go
Of the pain and mistrust that I try not to show

Sometimes it still haunts me from deep inside
Nowhere to run; from my mind I can't hide.
I'm sick and tired of being used,
Or even worse, emotionally abused.

It will require a patient man
To truly win my restless hand.
Are you up for this?
Will you take the stand?

Can you reach into my broken heart?
Help me heal it for a start?
Soothe my fear
By being near

Show me, this time, that I'm not wrong
Is with you where I belong?
I don't want a handsome liar
Not about to play with fire

One hard lesson I have learned:
It's far too easy to get burned.
Must I fight to protect myself?
Keep my heart upon a shelf?

I'll lock it up and hide the key
From any who would hurt me.
Kisses and charms
May get me into your arms...

But if you want me to stay,
Chase the darkness away.
Show me, this time, I'm not wrong
And that, with you, I do belong.

This really touched me when I read this poem, it really comes from the heart..

I just want to say STAY STRONG
