Falling from grace

Grace...I watch you fall with thoughts not of your
mind and words not of your voice. It seems you act
without your heart - did your words mean anything?
They meant so much to me ... so much...so much to me.
I listened and believed - I listened and believed - I
listened and believed in you. Left to question your
motivations I deal with the frustrations you have left
behind. I won't ever allow another mind to redefine
what I feel in my heart. Its been so long since I ve
been able to look you in the eye I have just
forgotten. I watch you fall and I think to myself why
can't you control you. It takes commitment to think
for yourself, but through it all I will respect your
right to change as long as you respect yourself.
When the actions of those we love contradict their
words, the resulting wound runs deep. The process of
healing involves coming to terms with oneself first.
