Stained Glass

I know I switched up rhyme schemes; I'm bored and didn't really give a damn

Never apologize for sharing your past with me;

for telling me about the lives you've loved the most.

We all carry a fragment of them with us,
creating the stained glass windows of our souls.

Hate is the only transgression worth apologizing for,
Because it cracks our windows and devours us whole
As time goes on, and the colors fade
I've learned the ones we love are the ones we grow to hate.

I have no time for malice; I have no room for grudges,
Because my chapel is slowly dying as the bricks begin to crumble
I only care about my soul, that it should stay intact
My stained glass window can not break, my love will always last.

Does the rhyme scheme need to be perfect? Many is the time mine hasn't been. I say go with the flow. Hate is a very destructive emotion. Best not to go there. I have found though that the people who can cause you most grief can be family members. Stick at it and take a chill pill, I have been there. I enjoyed the read. This is a nicely composed poem.

I really enjoyed this, it is not being selfish but just protecting our souls and really our health.

Powerful and honest words shared Rosie.
"I have no time for malice; I have no room for grudges,

I love and I understand the above lines. Holding malice and grudges, weight us down. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry and your thoughts.

Dreaming about dying, while not hugely uplifting, is much more preferable than the real thing
At least that's what I've heard
somewhere

Nice write
Yes the way is less clear than once was
My strength both physical and mental is weakening
I keep the stained glass window clean
Outwards all appears fine

and the soul is the most important thing to be concerned about
