I use to think I couldn’t love you more
My favourite sound was your key in the door,
Seeing your face when you walked in
Holding you close as you gave me that grin.

You promised me we would never part
And that I would always hold your heart,
I never dreamt that I’d get burned
Love is sour truth I have learned.

I hoped and prayed for the day you’d come back
I cried in my sleep and mourned what I lacked,
I went over the whens, the ifs and the whys
Let the tears sting my face that wept from my eyes.

Now your sorry and want to come back
But I’m not sure I can handle that,
The pain you caused was to intense
To risk my heart would not make sense.

For the sake of our child I want to forgive
I want to forget and again start to live,
I wish I could trust you and get over the pain
But I just don’t think I could love you again.

Fantastic

This is one of the finest poems I've ever read. I wasn't sure it was even possible to convey so many powerful emotions with so few words, yet you did just that.

Whew!!

Powerful, soul-rending verse

Of pain that dies at the end of time

Making the reader want to reach out

To comfort, console, and end the pain

Me, too

Got to agree with skip. Your writing is superb, J. I love your work. (In my imagination I also love you!)

Could not agree more

with Sexy Vixxxen below. She has hit the nail right on the head. You writing is superb, Jennifer. I always imagine myself as the recipient, though - am I egotistic? Or do I just admire your work?

This is perhaps...

My absolute favorite of your work, Jenn! Besides deeply and personally relating to the feelings you expressed here in your words, you pulled from your pen that sixth element of writer's success I believe in~ the sense of... linger. This piece has lingered with Me since I voted on it earlier today, and will probably dwell in My head for the rest of the night <smile> You hit the right emotional button with this one, woman!

Sadly Sweet

I think we as women have so been there..

Err not to leave the men out.

Just I too understand and can feel your pain.

Wonderfully heartfelt sad poem..
