Whew, I feel better. I hope this can help somebody.

Last night, I laid in the darkness
and shut my eyes.
I reached over, draped an arm around you
and held you tight for as long as I could bear.
I thought about when we were young,
when that embrace meant the world us.
I thought about how it used to be: us � a pair,
conquering the world as a team.
And I thought about how things
Have changed since then.

Then I thought about what it was to love,
without the expectation that I be paid back in kind.
To love without strings.
To love without holding a grudge.
To not hold back, though you had hurt me so deeply.
To love simply because I do love.
Regardless of how you feel.
And I held you tighter.

For just a moment, I smiled and thought
About all the things that embrace
Symbolized to me;
what it meant to have you warm
and sleeping by my side.
What it meant to have you in my life.
My family.
Then I thought about all the words that had been said.
Daggers through my heart;
dark ravens picking at my spirit.
Perhaps soon I will be beyond caring.

I have loved you with everything I have.
I take pride in that fact.
And because I loved you well,
especially in the hard times,
I love myself a lot more than I ever thought possible.

I have felt the exact same way about my wife of 8+ years.

That poem speaks volumes to those who have been hurt and betrayed by someone they love and chose to stand by them in spite of the pain.

well good luck machine...I hope you don't get to that point, because once you do, you try and try, but I don't think that feeling can ever return for the pain has taken up all the room

I already hit that point of desperation and trying to hold it all together long ago. Now I've hit acceptance and am working on letting go.

if it makes you feel any better ( I don't know why it would but its just a thought that has to do with marriage) yesterday while I was driving home from picking up my car from the auto shop....outta no where I felt I will never get married for a long long time...I just felt I was going to be alone for a long long time...just outta no where...what was even weirder was it didn't make me feel bad, I felt fine about it, actually better than fine....that was a little scarey.

Yes we are still married but I am becoming rather apathetic about the relationship.

That's the worst isn't it? Slowly losing your belief and excitement, discovering that most of what you thought was real, was just really in your head.

Matt, we've been together about 9 years. I don't want to talk about the other right now. Soon perhaps.
