Creation

You hurt me.
It hurts to this day.
Will I ever trust again?
Will I ever be the same?

The heartache has changed me.
How differently I see is clear.
My mind’s eye focus,
Is now crystal clear.

I am learning to except,
this person you created.
Arising from the ashes,
who I was to who I am.

I hope you still love me.
You made me this way.
If I am not who you love,
Learn to love me anyway

This was inspired by a painful event that caused much growth for me. both as a poet and a person. 

Pain does pay off, as this poem is being published in a book titled " 21st Century Great Poets".
