My Confession Poem by Janis Land Raymer

**for my 'alien spawn'**

It wasn't so long ago
I considered you my best friend
I did you such an injustice,
Taking vows...
vows I didn't mean.
Promises I thought I could keep.
But my heart belonged to another,
and probably always will.
Then came the separation-
We yelled...
We hurt each other...
We crushed each other's spirits...
We stole one another's...
pride,
dignity,
and self-worth.
Effectively destroying everything,
free,
peaceful,
friendly,
and loving that ever existed between us.
Sad.
How very sad.
But...
I forgive you,
I forgive myself,
I...forgive-
My Confession?
Part of me still cares for you...
and always will.
Surprised?
No more than I.
