Fears, Chances and Gratefulness

Chances to tell you came, and went, ungrasped, 
overwhelmed in panic I would shut down.
My biggest fear,  
that someone else that knew of my shame would tell you.
As luck and life would have it,
my fear manifests. 

Felt sick to my stomach in an instant when you showed me 
how some s**t with an agenda  had emailed you 
the truth of my past.
Saddened too,
that this is how you learnt not just  of my suffering,
but how I lacked faith in our love......... 

Then you, Beautiful you, embrace Me
radiating  within a most welcome peace,
whilst
my heart unburdened 
in an outpouring pregnant with relief.

I know now, in truth, I am grateful   
for the chance that gave me cause to face my fear.

An amazing piece, victoria!--a tribute to both of you.
What is there to forgive?--the triumph that is your life!
Only a fool would not rejoice with you.

I am sad that you have gone through that fear, relieved that it has been faced and resolved. I am enchanted by your smile full of light on your avatar. Stay full of that light my friend. Heartfelt poetry. Sincere.

You so very deserving. That smile one again pops up and my heart is smiling for you, hopefully, today, with you.

A fear is only a fear until you face it. Such a warm, lovely write :)

thank you, and yes it is, the fear of doing so at times unbearable, I guess we choose to suffer, a madness we often repeat....... your comments warmed me, thank you kindly for dropping by to read.
