What are you waiting for?
Reflections of a Fallen Angel . . .
Placed high upon a pedestal
And worshiped at the alter of your love
Made sacred vows of forever before God and man
As you promised me the stars in the heavens above. . .
Sweet in temperament ~ demure and shy
You adored my innocent disposition and quiet smiles
Thinking me delicate and fragile ~ to be handled with care
You hid behind pride, ego and masculine guile. . .
Believing me an Angel ~ the answer to your dreams
Worshiped my body but never inflamed my mind
Brought me to heaven's gate with a kiss
But the hidden secrets within me you would never find. . .
Now fallen from grace before your eyes
Insults hurled in heated exchange as tempers flare
As you insinuate infidelity and lies
Once loving and adoring eyes ~ now only glare. . .
Heart torn asunder and anguished cries
My once protective shell pierced and torn
Broken in spirit but never in will
I will never let you make me forlorn. . .
Bruises heal and spirits mend
So too, does the heart in time
My soul has survived and I will go on
As I overcome this hurt and be just fine. . .
Acceptance of the situation
Resigned to this destiny or fate
No longer meek and starry eyed
No more need to feel irate. . .
Forgiveness ~ I know will come one day
As I finally put the past to rest
I've risen above the anger and angst
And know that I've done my best. . .
It seems as though everything was a test of will
I had to endure the heartache and strife
To discover the strength within my soul
In order to fully appreciate this life
