You’ve hurt me
You’ve humiliated me
You’ve disappointed me
You’ve made me cry
You’ve broken my heart
You’ve broken my spirit
You’ve caused me guilt I cannot deny
You’ve looked at me with contempt, sometimes
You’ve proffered words of poor advice
But I forgive and love you
No matter what
As I see you in the mirror
Looking back into my eyes

This is different. Awesome! I hope you are not hard on yourself, Kevin.

Oh, I’ve been through it all, Liz! God puts me through some tough times to get to the next reward… I’m glad you enjoyed it! Look for my book release next week! I’ll need an “atta boy” when it’s out there. 😁

Great poem my friend. It filled me with so many images about jilted lovers, divorce and then second chances. Then came the twist… I do love surprises.
