Happy Now?

Happy Now?

A Poem by Tim Lawless

We seem to have reached the end of this.

Hope you're happy.

Hope you know the change was for the better,

Though you can't seem to tolerate it.

 

I'm truly grateful that you came out with it now,

Thanks for letting me think you were true for five years.

Five years! Damned! Lost! Irreversible.

 

I'll stand by the choice I made, with God as my witness.

What exactly do I owe you?

You were here to tell me I was wrong

Even this time, when I made the right choice.

Ironic--I fail to see just what commandment I violated.

Ironic--All this because I chose to forgive her?

 

I'm not losing any sleep over that choice.

And I'm not sleeping any less over losing you.

Because after all the harsh words,

I must ask myself:

Were you really ever here in the first place.

 

You don't know the first thing about love.

You can't seem to comprehend what you say you embrace.

In the end, I imagine you'll be the first to fall.

 

Tell me.

I'd really like to know.

If God is love,

How well do you know Him?

"You don't know the first thing about love.
You can't seem to comprehend what you say you embrace.
In the end, I imagine you'll be the first to fall.

Tell me.
I'd really like to know.
If God is love,
How well do you know Him?"

I love love love those lines... This whole poem is amazing.
