A Hard Lesson Learned (Free verse) by kristenk69lover
God.......
I've come to ask again,
How long will it be
I've leaned a lot since then god,
I've learned a lot too late,
And there's a lot I want to tell him
Since that day,
I've learned a lot,
I'll tell you what I've leaned.
Here it is god, the same thing I told you last night,
And the night before,
And the same I'll tell you tomorrow night.
It feels like a thousand nights now he's gone,
And every night my soul is tortured,
And every night my heart is scared again,
I have more agonizing times to think about
My lesson learned.
I think about all those nights and days we wasted
In tears of sadness,
Nights full of hateful words,
And my stubbornness to be right,
I've leaned, I won't waste anymore.
I think of all the times i put off saying how I felt,
Doing something special,
Or just holding him a bit longer,
And you showed me the errors of my ways,
I've leaned, I wont be selfish anymore.
I think of the emptiness in my life,
Every time I think I feel him breath on my neck,
Or think I smell him on my pillow,
Or when I take a breath that feels empty and useless,
I've leaned I wont take things for granted.
I ask you again and again god, how long?
Let him find truth, and help him
