 Spiritual Poems To Touch The Heart

DIVORCE - How do you sleep


Words are easy to say
even easier to write
but to uphold the standard
we speak or pen
may be another story.....


Paper wrinkles
ink fades
promises break
till death do we part
doesn't mean you really die
just the love does...


What has love evolved to?
how has man progressed
what did commitment mean to you?
I'm not the same
as I was before
yet I never changed...


How do you sleep at night?
Did you buy into your excuses?
i love you
I'm just not in love with you anymore
makes it all better...
for who?


And the world goes forward
but here i am alone
i died, but no one noticed
at least if death had parted us
someone would have cried for me
respect for my life would have
been awarded me...
but here I stand  - shattered -
with no one to acknowledge
what I've lost....


Please forgive me that
I let my love die
forgive me that I failed
to keep my words
I meant them when I spoke them
I can make no excuses for myself
I did wrong to you
I hurt you
I stopped loving you
and I am sorry...

Any of these words would
have been better
but you chose
to be a coward
and make me eat this
So,I ask you again
how is it that you can sleep?
