Moving On

This poem was inspired by Linda Ori’s poem Forgive Her

There are times in our lives,
when we just have to move on.
We find it impossible,
to live with someone.
Instead of making two lives
embittered and enraged.
We must lay down our love,
loosen the memories there,
disconnect all the ties,
that bind us together.

Moving on isn’t easy,
when hearts have been entwined
for a long, long time.
It will take many tears of regret,
even doubt will set in.
Questions will be raised,
who was right, who was wrong.
The hurt they say gets easier
as time moves along.

The knowledge that many,
have walked down the same path before.
Is little comfort,
when we start out the door.
We have to be strong,
and have no regrets.
Keep our mind focused,
forgive and forget,
then start the process of moving on.
