Courage To Move On!! |
| by Mindy Carpenter |
|
They had been together for many a year, Now all she can feel is fear. She gave all that she could give, It just wasn't the way he wanted to live. He left without a backward glance, Not even giving their love a chance. She often wonders what she could have done, To keep him from going on the run. Now she is living all alone, With nothing she can call her own. She can barely make herself eat, Wondering if her life will again be complete. This woman is now moving along, Building her courage, and becoming strong. Time will heal her broken pride, Toward the sunrise her heart will glide. |

Awesome Poem. You really hit it. I lived with my spouse for 4 years and then married him, we've been married for 9 years seperated for the last 5. I still cry for him and us on a regular basis. Sometimes you just dont know how to let go and how to stop loving no matter the pain and the enormity of the realization that it will never be the same again.

I love this poem and i have a friend who's parents been together the same amount of time and her dad came home from work and packed all of his belongs and left her mom after twenty plus years. Her mother didn't know what to do and what was going on he left without a word. he didn't even say good bye! so the daughter, who was about to get married, my friend isn't getting married anymore. I think her parents marriage affected hers!
