Hi Beautiful Souls,

Today I am re-sharing a poem a wrote after my divorce after being married for almost 30 years. This poem evokes intense emotion even now as I share it and read the words that came through me, and it is worth sharing a part of my heart-felt experience and journey.

THE UNIVERSE MADE ME DO IT

a poem by Yvette Marie (True Healing Source) 07/26/22

You told me one too many times you’d be fine without me…
You told me one too many times you could live without me…
You told me one too many times you don’t need anyone…
You told me one too many times you’d rather be alone…
You told me one too many time I was worthless and had no reason to live…
You told me in way too many words you hated everything about me…
You told me one too many times “it’s not about you” which made me stop loving myself so I could focus only on you…
You rejected my Love and affection more times than I can count…
You proved too many times your words were true…
I (the Universe) gave you what you wanted…
I gave up, my heart was shattered, all I could do was walk away so you could find the one you want…
It couldn’t be any other way…
Do you see how it works now?
Just because I walked away doesn’t mean it was easy…
Just because I walked away doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt like hell…
Just because I walked away doesn’t mean I didn’t love you with all my heart…
Just because I walked away doesn’t mean I wanted it to turn out this way…
The Universe Made Me Do It…
I simply began loving myself and realized I was worth great Love, too…
