I'm Free

by Natalie84   Sep 25, 2006


Years of devotion
Crashing before my eyes
Love for an uncaring man
Blinded me from his lies

His sweet and gentle voice
Soothed a weary mind
As he rendered his word
Deceit was hard to find

I believed every story
And cared not to question
For the risk of losing him
I foolishly kept it hidden

Nightmares of his deception
Wouldn't allow me to sleep
So all alone every night
I would quietly weep

I told no one of my pain
But it was written on my face
It was quite obvious
That I needed his embrace

Now as I sit here today
I can only wonder
How I allowed this man
To gain so much power

After years of my crying
And feeling so alone
I was forced to realize
That he wasn't the one

He opened up the door
That unleashed his inner soul
And it was then that I realized
That I had to take control

I was blinded by his presence
For as long as I could be
But thankfully he revealed
The evil that set me free

    Natalie...sweet Natalie.....your words just tear at my heartstrings .
    I have dated many snakes in my lifetime and was sting by their venom one to many times . But Natalie 15 years ago I met the man of my dreams and someday you will to Nat .
    One who carries a heart just as kind and caring as your own .
    Time and only time alone will heal the pain, my dear .
    Chin up sweets, just remember you are special . (((hugs)))

    This is a wonderful poem, such a pleasure to read and with so much emotion. I guess by falling for the wrong one when we finally find the true love it's that much more precious . . . or so we tell ourselves to try and justify the pain. This poem was touching and wonderfully written. Keep smiling, keep writing :)
