I gave my ex and would to be husband again a gift
a little black stone lava rock
he said it shows something about me then
yes, it shows he is my EX husband
the lOVE we shared has burnt and shrivelled and GONE
and all that is left is a ghost to carry on
a few kind words and pats on the back do not erase the pain
or dry the tears again
and even though he wants me to, I do not really want to be his friend
no, my heart is not small and hard as a stone
i know i do not want to be alone
and have love in my heart for good friends who care
perhaps it is only that love and God who keeps my heart
open to share and only the remnant of the love i had
once grieving is done
and past
I pray to find a love that will last!
