I’ve found acceptance for your betrayals
Still doesn’t mean I want to see you
It means I understand a little more now
And have stopped blaming you for everything
I see I didn’t make things easy
Being together took a lot out of both of us
I don’t know why we endured so long
Maybe that answer will come in time too
Thank you for helping me through
Because for as much as we destroyed each other
We were there to care and protect too
I don’t know if I would have survived
Maybe I would have survived better
Like I’ve grown since we’ve been apart
Or maybe I would have been taken to darker places
I will never know
Because what’s past is past
And all we have is now
I thank you for helping me grow stronger
In your messed up twisted kind of way
The struggles and pains you put me through
Have made me who I am today
I love me and couldn’t be happier
With the life that was waiting for me
On the other side of you
look for this poem in the recently published book: http://www.amazon.ca/Womans-Write-Strong-Poetry-Womankind/dp/1469732572/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1337628908&sr=8-2
