You broke our heart into a million bits And left me to put it back together A puzzle where no pieces seem to fit Seems like I'll be doing this forever

The anger that you felt, I feel it still These emotions, raging like a river I know hurting us was never your will Remembering your pain makes me shiver

So I write this poem for you to see At the end of the tunnel there is light As I write this for you, the younger me Just know that the future is looking bright

And I promise to see this puzzle through And after all this time, I forgive you.

After going through a toxic relationship years ago, I still have never been able to forgive myself for staying so long. In therapy my psychiatrist asked me to write a letter to my ex, telling her how I felt. In the end I instead ended up finding a way to forgive myself through the written word. Funny how that works sometimes. Anyway, enjoy. And Please do give feedback. Haven't written a poem in years, so I might be a bit rusty.
