First we were lovers and the best of friends then we came to this road and our bitter end. When I said I do, I loved you with all of my heart Now lost in the confusion of promises spoken and vows torn apart When I said forever, I meant this lifetime and the next to come. I was so naive. Now I am just numb. It’s hard to let go of the sadness the divorce has brought It’s a constant reminder of how badly good intentions turn out. The feeling of relief, has since passed Now I move ahead slowly, free at last New walls are built, stronger than before Taking necessary measures to feel secure Advice to self, give not your whole heart Next time around, give only a part as it has been proven, you’ll need it again a survivor always rolls and scars eventually mend. Get up now coward and repent no more Tend to a garden, it’s easier on the soul Tend to a friendship it may save you when you’re alone. One gets what they deserve or didn’t you know? The ugly truth is, we reap what we sow. So many hard lessons here to be learned Can’t help but feel like I’ve been burned As a child I clung to the teachings of the church Couldn’t find my parents Where are they and why do I hurt “Live by the word of the Lord He’s always watching and he’ll take care, If you’re good and worthy, he will be there.” God how much wrong I must have done How many times I must have rejected your “love” Is it any wonder the word “love” is muddy at best Who can make sense of it or give it much less Bitter taste from these nasty thoughts. My weakness exposed, blaming others for my loss Forgive me Father, you know the drill… I’ll try a little harder. I promise I will.
