Good-Bye Love

Years that held us together are broken

I realize now all that was were the years

so many bad times so many lost tears

Fading memories passed, words unspoken

You had once saved my life, cradled my fears

now time heals all wounds once cut with blunt shears

could not find me until I'd awoken.



Realizing now how fooled I had been

all the years that went by I thought were true

were all out of pity, not love, back then.

We loved and were lost, I'm not sure quite when

Kept reminding myself this love was new

sad to admit I felt it more than you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Found an old poem tonight written by my ex-husband about a lost love. At first I was touched, thinking it was written for me... then realized it was about a girl who once was my friend that began dating him once our diverce began. I feel silly, but it hurt, as though all those years were a waste while his eyes were wandering. I do not love him anymore, and yet still felt like crying upon discovery.
