On Detaching Beren: I left all I had to be with you
I pushed all that I had aside
A brand new life with joy and love
A happy groom, a lovely bride
Our first steps faltered, then we found our stride
We hit some bumps along the road
But we held on to each other through it all
‘Til our love shone like precious gold
But now it seems to be so far behind
I don’t know how it went so wrong
You went your way, and left me to mine
I tried so hard to tag along
You never talked, you said I never heard
An empty house with nothing said
We spent so long missing each other
Lying together in our bed
Some day, baby, when the dust has cleared
And the long dark nights leave you cold
The same old sorrows still cling to your heart
It’s awful lonely on your own
A patient heart is so hard to find
A timeless love is hard to hold
I pray for your sake I’ll still be there
I pray for my sake that I won’t
I know you’re leaving, it’s so hard to take
I know some times I did you wrong
But I wouldn’t have tried so hard to change myself
If I didn’t love you all along
And I see that my best wasn’t good enough
But I don’t think my worst was so rough
We had our ups and downs like ev’ryone else
But I always thought we rose above
I strained my mind to understand, but I’m
Afraid I still just don’t get it
How lying to yourself about how bad it was
Is supposed to make you feel better
But if your mind is set and your heart is hard
And you just won’t let me break through
Then take your freedom and give me mine
I don’t know what more I can say to you, but
Some day when your mind has cleared
And the long dark nights leave you cold
The same old sorrows still cling to your heart
It’s awful lonely on your own
A patient heart is so hard to find
A timeless love is hard to hold
I pray for your sake I’ll still be there
I pray for my sake that I won’t
I pray for my sake that I won’t

I've been having a really rough time lately and after 6 months of separation, I am realizing how much I love the woman I married.. how I love her so deep in my soul.. yet her heart is hard and she just won't let me break through. She has her freedom and I am imprisoned by my love for her.
I wish for peace of mind.. and seek redemption.

Re: On Detaching Lynn: Hi IronMan,
It is tragic when the person to whom you gave your soul hardens their heart to you.
My husband did the same to me.
You are in my prayers,
Lynn
