Now I See The Light Poem by rita alyson petts

I thought I was to blame,
He said I was to blame,
And all the time the blame was in himself.
I thought he didn't love me because of what I'd done
But his love was really felt for someone else..
I had always loved him
From the very start
And thought deep in his heart he did love me.
I made excuses for him 'he's so reserved and shy',
One who cared could surely (set him free)
Alas the years rolled by for me
Ashamed, unloved and sad
The tears I shed would fill the sea
I thought I was so bad.
I thought I was a failure
But now I see the light
He never ever loved me
So everything's alright.
Although I really worshipped him
Held him in High esteem
He never felt the same
But never did come clean
And face the facts, admit his fault
He said I was to blame
But now at last the truth is clear
I need have no more strife
I had no choice but walk away
To save my very life.
For in my life I needed love
And that was never there
I can excuse, forgive myself
Now all the facts are bare
The key is now turned in the lock
He”s shut tight in the past
Our Lives have come full circle
And I have peace at last
