A very emotional undertone in the voice of your words...
I feel the desperate yearning that eventually comes over the victim...those on either end of the relationship, whether it be man or animal, depending on the heart, the capacity for love is abounding, if we so desire to accept it!
"Bygones" now allows it...
Excellent write Karen~
Enjoyed!
Love and Peace~

Your poem reflects something we've all suffered. Sometimes letting go is all that can be done. It hurts, but the pain will pass.

A wise write my friend, one that I am sure that we can all relate to. To let go of the past, is truly the only way to move forward with our future. Painful memories and hurt held within will eat one's spirit from the inside out...leaving behind an empty hull and usually a lonesome one. You've penned an exceptional write my friend! Wise indeed!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

I wish it were that easy. Forgiveness helps in the letting go - giving it and receiving it. But when you can't see to forgive yourself, it's hard to see past the pain.
