Dear Jesus
I don’t know how to pray
but I’m willing to learn
I need some help today
I need this to be a good day
I have an ache inside
it will not go away.
Please let me forget my ex
you know how hard I tried
That woman, I loved, has died
why must I suffer on and on
help me forget past history.
remembering still makes me cry.
Anger and pain, puts me in bad light
I just perceived a shocking hurt
I let it cut to my soul, I was a fool
it made me blind and not see things right
I made a wrong turn on a dear friend
emotions made me see things wrong
sadly, my tortured heart showed me and
overwhelmed me how wrong I had been
counting casualties from my blindness
from my temper , out of control
I forgot myself, my id, my soul
I forgot say words with kindness
I pray that my friend forgives
the things that I’ve broken
I hope words will lose power
so they never can relive
May I stop feeling the pain
of my sad lost marriage
lamenting the loss over and over
everything to lose and nothing to gain
and please Lord, please give
me control over my temper
before anger and pain and tears
crushes my will to live
Amen
