There’s no sense to be made of what you did. You went back to him, knowing he doesn’t love you. Then he threw you away again. All he wanted was someone warm in his bed to pass a night with. You’re a fool! This is the last time I trust you. You’ve lost me forever. A.P.
Forgiveness in no way requires
that you trust the one you forgive.
From “The Shack” by Wm. Paul Young
Time is healing my broken heart and clearing my mistaken mind. Your opinions of me were so wrong. I was never as bad as you made me out to be. My opinions of you were so wrong too. You weren’t all that great and did little for me except make my life miserable. P.S.
A man never knows
how to say goodbye;
a woman never knows
when to say it.
Helen Rowland
You’ve hit me many times before but this is the last time you’ll take your anger out on me. I can’t believe I stayed for so long letting you beat and bruise me. You blame me for what is wrong with you, so I’ll make it easy. I’m leaving and am absolutely done with you. J.W.
…Even when I stop crying,
even when we fall asleep
and I’m nestled in his arms,
this will leave another scar.
No one will see it.
No one will know.
But it will be there.
And eventually all of the scars
will have scars, and that’s all I’ll be
–one big scar of a love gone wrong.
From “But I love Him” by Amanda Grace
The pain from you casting me aside felt like it was going to kill me at times. The emptiness was crushing. Now two years later I still care about you, but it’s not a bad thing anymore. I’m in love with someone new now, but know you will always have a place in my heart. P.S.
Let no one who loves
be called altogether unhappy.
Even love unreturned has its rainbow
Eaton Stannard Barret
Time has come to put it all way: women I loved who did not love me; those whose heart I broke and who broke mine; two I married and divorced; and all the dysfunctions that caused our dramas. Time to love with an open heart as I was never able to before. J.B.
The mark of a real man, is a man who can allow himself
to fall deeply in love with a woman.
But the reason why a man is often heartbroken,
is because a woman can become overcome
by the reality that she has made a man out of a boy,
because it’s just such an overwhelming process,
a beautiful and powerful evolution.
Therefore, a man needs to fall in love
with a woman who knows that men don’t happen every day,
and when a man does happen, that’s a gift!
A gift not always given,
and one that shouldn’t be thrown away so easily.

You were the latest in a long line of “wrong people” I got involved with. I finally understand my problem. The consistent thread between all the abusive relationships I’ve been in is me! Realizing my ability to pick a good partner is messed up is the first step in fixing that. L.S.
Be the flame,
not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
How you managed to live two lives for so long I will never know. You had a life with me here and another life with someone else a thousand miles away. You got away with it for a long time. I’ll never understand and never want to see you again as long as I live… NEVER! R.W.
When people cheat in any arena,
they diminish themselves;
they threaten their own self-esteem
and their relationships with others
by undermining the trust t
hey have in their ability
to succeed and in their ability to be true.
Cheryl Hughes
Love’s either slowing growing or slowly dying. It’s always one or the other. Love never stands still. With one’s intellect not much can be done to sway it one way or the other. If we could start over, I would. But that’s not possible. How do I tell you I don’t love you anymore? A.W.
First best is falling in love.
Second best is being in love.
Least best is falling out of love.
But any of it is better
than never having been in love.
Maya Angelou
There have been heart breakers, pretenders and those whose love was temporary. For a time I loved each one; some more; some less. Even after all the pain my faith remains strong that one day the love I wait for will come. All the rest has been preparation for your arrival. P.W.
I look off in the distance
at the skies of pink and blue
as the sun sets in the sky,
I am waiting for you.
The day has past, and night has come
The sky is bright with stars
But I won’t move and I won’t sleep,
I am waiting for you.
The days go by but I won’t cry,
For I know you’ll be here soon.
I won’t lose faith,
I will not stray,
I’ll stay and wait for you.
From “I Am Waiting For You” by Saphire Nightengale
You were secretly seeing her when we met and have while we’ve been together. So much deception. So many lies. Now I’m expecting your baby and don’t know what I’ll tell her about you one day. Do I tell the truth or let her discover for herself how weak you are? P.S.
Man is not what he thinks he is,
he is what he hides.
