You always did know how to hurt me
Slay me open like a trout
Sometimes you'd unleash your fury
Not even knowing what it was about
Half-truths and lies have
gotten us to the here and now
You've hurt me so bad
I've got to be healed somehow.
Really being cut so deep I wonder
why I don't just bleed everywhere?
But I am so much stronger than that
Although I might shed a tear here or there
I want to take the high road
and be a real sister to you
So I will this time but if it
happens again, we are through

Such a plea of pain and anguish. Gutted is vivid and brutal. We all are hurt by others that we allow into our lives. I'm sure that when properly prepared you will make a wonderful dish. (just kidding)

This miscreant is fortunate to have another chance, and doesn't understand what will be lost if he blows it. I love your strength dear friend.

Thank you Andy, it is most appreciated!!
In the face of grace, we're all
angelic and empathy, advocates
yet
it be in those, trenches of life
when our trust is distorted
and our hope, tainted n warped
by those we hold so dear, that
our true bravery is revealed;
the power to forgive, to afford
a second chance in the name
of love's, humane
is a quality so rare
in our, @ # ghosting for no reason
modernity...
I laud the humanity in your words
and the intellect of your empathy
thank you for sharing, dear Poet
may karma reward your bravery
tenfold
