starting over

I wish that I could stand before you,
empathatically take your hand,
say to you that I still love you,
say that I can understand,
block the negative feelings and emotions,
forget the sins that took their toll,
offer you a clean slate,
let you wake up from the nightmare you now know,
If I could erase the anguish and fear,
I'd wipe it away, make it disappear,
If I could remember more of the good,
beside you I would be, you know that I would,
To watch you go around in cirles and tear yourself apart,
to know that it is all now coming from the heart,
I do not want your torture but your hold destroys my soul,
It is peace I want for you, an antidote for woes,
Knowing if I show emotion it will only make it worse,
but it's not in me to be cruel to you,
now wishing for your rebirth,
Why can't you just take the forgiveness and start love anew,
this is the gift I wish that I could give to you...
Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Oh, twin1, if only you could wrap it up and put a bow on it, huh? :) Thanks for sharing.

    I like this. :)

    it made me think two different things.
    first about my little brothers (11 and 8 years old) and how they're growing up. :o
    how they have to face the world soon and all its cruelty. reality..

    and also starting over love. :o which is what you wrote about.

    Thanks ladies! I hate seeing people suffer, it makes me frustrated and sad.

    wholly crap, this describes a situation that someone i know is going thru right now. i have had to sit by and watch them deal with a lot of crap. this totally puts it into words! and the line "knowing if i show emotion it will only make it worse" pretty much sums up my role in the situation.
    thanks!

    Your welcome! Yeah it is not much fun at all but sometimes a part of life. Makes you learn and grow...

    this is really good. I assume this is about your ex. it says exactly what you mean. It must be so hard on you (and him) seeing him like that and not being able to do anything about because, as you said, showing emotion to him would only make it worse. Good luck to you both.
