never been jilted

Romance fiction writers like the jilted theme.
Romance fiction readers like the jilted theme.
It feels kinda' good to sob your way through someone else's misery.

We're incredulous and horrified that a woman would be jilted,
especially at the altar.

The jilted lover learns that

weeping and begging won't bring their loved one back.

tells me so."

just for a moment,

really bask in that.

This is the only part of the poem we need to quote....

He loves me...

He loves me...

He loves me...

Nobody will be able to watch our life stories

and sob over our heartache,

hoping and praying we'll find strength to carry on.

If we know Him as our Savior,
we'll always be able to claim we've
