Supplicant (Photo credit: Transcendental Moo Cow)
Should you fall to your knees
Beg forgiveness
A supplicant before me
Even then, even then
I do not know
Should you admit to your crimes
Every single one
Without excuse or accusation
Even then, even then
I do not know
Should you call on a friendship
Never really born, nor yours
Rejected for a game
Even then, even then
It’s just the same
All trust is broken
Irrevocable damage
Falling around our feet
Yet even now, even now
I do not know

such a sad reality, broken trust … no matter what we do … even then, I do not know. Poignant and stark, not to mention true. Very well written and expressed.
Thank you so much. Relationships are always so complex…sometimes it is almost impossible to kmow what you should do, let alone what you want to do… 🙂
If we knew exactly how deep the water was, would we ever take the plunge? You are making me think and feel today … which is always a good thing. Thanks.
Thank you!! You are always so thoughtful and generous, I really appreciate it. 🙂
Oh, Helen. Nothing hurts as much as trust broken and a friendship lost.
Thanks Susan, that is so true! Sometimes I think the hardest thing to lose is not the relationship but the idea one had of it, if that makes sense? So the pain is also a matter of a mixture of dismay and disappointment. 🙂
Another great one! So good to read “Even then, Even then” and having it change to “Even now, Even now.” Makes the words so final. Good work.
Thank you so much!! 🙂 🙂
