Moving On Poem by Jenny MORETTER

Please forgive me, you ask of me everyday
I want to say yes but instead just turn and walk away
You want me to move forward and trust what you say
How can I do this when you lied to me everyday
I don't think you understand what you have done
I carry it in my heart and want to give up and run
Saying sorry will not ever change how I feel
You have said sorry so often I know it’s not real
I do not know how to let go of the anger inside
How can you look me in the face and stand there and lie
I cried out to you with words that came straight from my heart
I even forgave you and said lets make a new start
You hurt me once and I said ok and moved on
You hurt me again and again and I think how I could be so wrong
You say you miss the way I used to look at you with love and respect
Now I look at you sometimes with so much pain and regret
I will never be able to explain why I am so sad
Maybe it hurts so much to miss what we once had
You can never go back and change what you have done
I will have to trust you love me enough and try to move on
I want to let go of the pain I carry with me every day
Love me enough and truly mean what you say.
