that reminds me of a poem I wrote and your sharing inspires me to share with you. It's called "denial" How do you stop loving someone that means the world to you when the thought of it leaves you beaten and subdued left nake and alone with all the love left to show the fact that it's not over, I refuse to know. I've given so much & continue to try. While my devotion remains, your flame has died. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to give in. It can't be over. I won't let it end. Maybe if hold fast to my faith and continue to believe, love will soon prevail AND I'LL BE ABLE TO BREATHE! ---Dawnielle written 6/24/08 My marriage wasn't doin so great when I wrote this for my husband. I wrote it as if I actually could control whether or not I could ever stop my love for him. He said he loved me but wasn't in love with me anymore. I told him that I knew deep inside his heart that I know he was still in love with me or he wouldn't do the things he did for me. And that my love for him and my committment to each other and our family was strong enough to endure the pain I was facing until he realized what I already knew. And it worked out!!
