The Stain on My Heart - Poem
I started my New Year without you
Closed the door & let it slam
Torn between love and hate
I gave you everything I am

I cried myself to sleep
Pacing floors day after day
Waiting for the pain to end
Praying for another way

The shadows have all faded
But the memory remains
There's a hole in my heart
Behind that angry stain

But just when I think its over
An old photo suddenly appears
Leaving me spell-bound
And all the pain reappears.

I try so hard to forgive you
For all the pain in my heart
I am shamed by my weakness
Allowing you to tear me apart

I try so hard to see another
Hoping they will open that door
But its hard to love again…. when
you're picking your heart off the floor.
