That You Would Say “I’m Sorry”
***
Words would sooth
the ribbon cuts that you made
by your heartless actions
by your veiled simple cruelties
by your calculated
intent
to pull out all of the underpinnings in my life
and see to
the crafting of my demise.
What drove you to this?
What motivated you?
The vexing nature of this thing
hangs ‘round me as a chain
to this day-
but there are
no words
forthcoming.
Sometimes you do just have to let go.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Lynn. It is this that I am learning.
ReplyDeleteSometimes situations happen and the reason why remains a mystery...and it lingers and sometimes it festers, too. It's helpful to write it out, I find.
ReplyDeleteLynn is right, but, oh, that can be difficult at times.
Talon, thanks for stopping by. Serious post today. Need a better photo to go with it (it is not about the person in the pic posted.) Yes, I once read something along the lines of this "...If you live long enough you will experience having to live through the betrayal of a friend." The post is about the nature of such a betrayal.
