I saw your face
When the light went on
Your voice was the same
Yet the magic had gone
Had I done something wrong
I would accept the blame
Lower my eyes
Walk away in shame
I did my best at the time
Cared enough to try
May have crossed the line
Saying words that made you cry
You were no longer the one
That understood my tears
Became another reason
For all my doubts and fears
My eyes are open now
Seeing the real you
Knowing only how to use
People like you do
You can’t hurt me here
You have no more power
Not for one more day
Nor for one single hour
Was I too good for you?
I will never know
God’s will prevails
In time the reasons show
I’ll wait to find love
As long as it takes
I’ll keep my eyes open
stay away from the fakes
Commentary: This was written during a painful period of my life, when I began reclaiming my power over my self defeating beliefs. I learned that it’s easier to blame others for how you feel than it is to own them and deal with them. That’s the definition of empowerment.
