Pain such as I had never felt before Coursed through my body. My heart, broken in twain, Lay bruised and battered where it fell. Struggling to understand, to accept, My failure. But in looking back, The pain that I felt was merely anger-- At myself, for giving up the fight At you, for keeping me blinded for so long. And the splintered heart that I saw there, Was not mine, but yours.
Reason for writing:
I had been divorced a litle over a year when it occured to me that, despite the fact that I felt pain at the split, my heart was not broken. I also realized that I broke his heart before he broke mine.
