For T.


Poem Artwork

The hurl of words under your fist
smashes me to the ground in a
state of shock.  Is this the first
time of many?  Not sticking
around to find out.  There
will be no next.  Gone.  This,
a cross you will have to bear,
the destruction of a relationship
I tried like hell to save.  One sided
doesn't work.  It takes two people...

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (11/1)

Dayumed straight it does! One sided is a selfish sided engagement and engagement means to engage another, One sided just doesn't fit if other's are honest.
Much wisdom here Karla!
love and blessings,
Susan

So very true but assault charges should be filed as well, nobody should be able to get away with this behaviour for although the subject had the strength and wisdom to walk away...the next poor sould may not.

You are so right! It does take two people to make a relationship work--and only one to destroy it. Your poem makes a good point.

It is truly sad when you give your all, and it still falls apart. I hope you stick to 'your guns' unless you get positive proof of a change in character - like months of counseling or whatever you need to know that change is not momentary - if it's a relationship you'd like to have [if things were different]. Did I make any sense? Gosh, I hope so.

This is powerful and so true, Karla. It takes two to make a relationship work; an excellent potentially life-saving poem! Very well penned; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(

T and R are both in my prayers; I hope they can work out their differences.
