PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I have listened...

I have stood silent...

I have been a door mat to their words and actions.



I have taken their angry punches...

I have taken their violent episodes of rage...

    With proof of scars upon my body.



I spoke softly, but they did not hear.

I reminded them of who I was, but they did not care.

I carried my life out a door, still wanting of the good times

    I had to leave behind.



Now, years later,

I thought I had resolution, and trusted one of them again.

I thought I had heard it all, but found they had more

    Things for me to hurt over.



I wonder if my last partner, will ever give me a chance to

   Reconcile, to find forgiveness.

I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want to hurt anymore.



I want them to know, I tried my best.

I want them to see, that I have changed my life for the

   Better.

I want them to grow in their own lives and not to repeat the

   Mistakes.

Where they say that they are ready to be in a relationship.

They can handle the work, and tediousness of keeping one

   Intact.

I do not begrudge them, we are all ready to be loved.



I just want us all to be happy.



I know who, and what I am...

Defined without labels,

Because what is in my heart, cannot be measured in words.

And what is in my mind, cannot be measured by writting

   Down the magnitude of my thoughts into texts.



I AM,

I didn't run away,

I didn't lie, cheat or steal in my relationships...

To the point of being elusive or deluding them from the truth.

I grew from a seed into my own voice, from my own heart,



AND NO LONGER WILL I LOOK BACK.
