all because of you

I can face myself again

because I know the truth

I have learned just who I am

and I owe it all to you

 

you knew me well, you knew me best

in everything that I try to do

you have put me to the test

and I have proven to be true

 

but now as I walk, in the rain

and take a glance at what and who

I know I can never love again

and it's all because of you

This poem left the taste in my mouth of a bitter pill that was so hard to swallow. You went to a place we all would love to pretend we are to strong to feel.

I like the simplicity of your writing, especially of this poem. You've said a million things in a few short stanzas, and this is exceptional.
And for a subject matter so overdone, you've approached it with a simple way that works.

Pat...this is amazing. Truly. I can't even express how deeply I embraced the meaning of this poem, which was further defined because of my own emotional condition at the moment. Thank you.
