Falling From Grace

I watch you fall with thoughts not of your mind and words not of your voice

It seems you act without your heart, did your words mean anything?

They meant so much to me... so much... so much to me

I listened and believed in you

Left to question your motivations I deal with the frustrations you've left

Behind

I won't ever allow another mind to redefine what I feel in my heart

It's been so long since I've been able to look you in the eye

I've just forgotten

I watch you fall and I think to myself

Why can't you control you?

It takes commitment to think for yourself

But through it all, I will respect your right to change

As long as you respect yourself

When the actions of those we love contradict their words,

The resulting wound runs deep.

The process of healing involves coming to terms with oneself first.

Change is essential to life.

Respecting change requires the deepest patience,

Honesty, commitment, communication and respect.

The healing process takes more than just time
