Acceptance Poem by Janis Land Raymer

There once was a time
I believed in us and
our future.
We laughed
we loved
you were my every dream
come true.
Maybe I fooled
myself into
buying into the lies...
happily ever after
mr. right
now I see that
lies are exactly what they were.
but what does it mean when I say:
it's ok?
I'm not
crying
dying
lying here, aching
for your
touch
love.
I've accepted it
I'm ok with it.
I'm peaceful,
for the first time
in a long time.
I'm ok...
I can let you go.
