I take a deep breath and begin to pray <br />I release that breath and think back on today <br />Every day is getting a little easier <br />than the day before the week before <br />the month before and the year before <br />all those months and all those years <br />before that moment you left me in tears <br /> <br />This does not mean I no longer care <br />I just don't dream of you being there <br />I do not blame you for all the years wasted <br />Or for all the bitterness tasted... <br /> <br />But remember those vows I said <br />from this day forward til death us do part <br />I promise to love you with all of my heart <br />Well they still screaming in my head <br />I am still alive and you are not dead <br /> <br />It was not my intention to scream and shout <br />It's kind of just happened as I write it out <br />You never could understand <br />I'd never have let go of your hand <br />Now to remember is all that I can do <br />To forget the love I shared with you <br />For all those years, before you left.<br /><br />Tia Maria<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-21/
