I wrote this for a friend that has been through too much turmoil in her life and for those sharing it.
Forged in moments tender Our time, our life began Our promises we render With love, our hand in hand In time revealed a stranger Hidden deep your demon dark When raised the hand of anger Each strike destroys loves heart Your love has turned an ill will With words of razors blade Tried my spoken vows fulfill Though just a masked charade Your sorrow later spoken So many times believed Your promises are tokens Tears hide that my heart bleeds Time has many scars amassed On a heart that needed kindness Love’s heart has beat its last The consequence of blindness Could not you see the dying Of love in emerald eyes No more my tears denying No more believing lies My time I take for healing My self esteem reclaimed This heart shall bare new feeling False burdens shed self blame Copyright © 2008 Ed J

A beautifully written poem where hope rises
from the ashes of quarrels and heartaches...
Thanks for sharing...
