Goodbye, Jamie

I have burned the cords between us

Watched them wiggle and dance and scream in the flames

I have severed the karmic ties that have kept us bound

Together in a pointless unending battle of pride and intolerance

I've cut the ropes of anger, pain and hatred

We nurtured for so many lifetimes

And I am letting you go with love and forgiveness

We’ve been hating and hurting each other for so many lifetimes

Holding onto unnecessary painful karma

Nurturing contempt, disdain and hatred for each other

Constantly repeating and relearning

These lessons of tolerance and forgiveness

That do not seem to stick or stay with us.

We have been taught these lessons

Over and over and over again.

But now I want to stop

I want to get off this incessant merry go round of pain

I have burned the cords between us

Watched them wiggle and dance and scream in the flames

I have severed the karmic ties that have kept us bound

Together in a pointless unending battle of pride and intolerance

I've cut the ropes of anger, pain and hatred

We nurtured for so many lifetimes

And I am letting you go with love and forgiveness

I am ashamed to admit that I lied when I told you I was in love with you,

I thought I needed to be married

And you were there offering what looked like safety and security

I thought that would be enough

I did grow to love and care for you,

Despite how many lifetimes you have done all you could

to hurt me and destroy me and my existence

And you never ever hesitated to use our children as pawns

Causing them damage and pain for your own selfish gain

I stayed with you out of a misguided sense of security and safety

Praying that someday you would grow up and become

the Husband and Daddie your family needed

But it was all an illusion, I was so very unsafe with you

I have burned the cords between us

Watched them wiggle and dance and scream in the flames

I have severed the karmic ties that have kept us bound

Together in a pointless unending battle of pride and intolerance

I've cut the ropes of anger, pain and hatred

We nurtured for so many lifetimes

And I am letting you go with love and forgiveness

But it’s time to say goodbye forever.

I am finished and done with you.

We both need to move on.

And progress in each our our eternal journeys

That the Divine has mapped out for us.

I am releasing my karmic debt to you.

I am sorry for all I did

And forgive you for all you did

In this lifetime and in lifetimes past.

I have burned the cords between us

Watched them wiggle and dance and scream in the flames

I have severed the karmic ties that have kept us bound

Together in a pointless unending battle of pride and intolerance

I've cut the ropes of anger, pain and hatred

We nurtured for so many lifetimes

And I am letting you go with love and forgiveness

I beg you to do the same for me.

I have set you free.

Goodbye, Jamie, I wish you happiness.
