The End Poem by Heather Kemper

I love you now and forever
no matter what everyday.
If we stayed together forever
or go now our seperate ways.

You've given me my reason
a strength that feeds my heart.
Love I never dreamed of
so much more from the start.

I know it is my failures
the constant letting down.
That have caused for us this gap
this place that we're here at now.

I know that you have tried
to find reason everyday.
Something to hold onto
make it worthy enough to stay.

I'm so sorry I don't give you
what it is you want and need.
Unable to make you happy
stifled you cannot breath.

I know that other women
are more that just a thought.
They are hope a want a desire
a chance for what I'm not.

My love I am so sorry
For all the ways I've let you down.
It was never what I wanted
and not what I want for you now.

Now I sit here and I'm thinking
I owe you so much more.
The chance to be whole and happy
As I walk forever out the door.

Not because I don't love you
not because I want you hurt.
But because you deserve so much more
than a wife who's only dirt.

Please find a love forever
and know I'll always be near.
Thank you for all you've given
for trying from year to year.
