You should have left me there,
You never had the right,
To claim me as your own,
If you didn't have the strength,
To keep your word,
You should have left me alone... "

Oh how I needed these words before...excellent write...
In Spirit,
Bear

Wow, I relate so deeply.
In a day or so I'll be posting a poem called "Discernment." This reminds me of the feelings I had writing that...
I'll be interested in what you think.
Beautiful writing as always.

And your empty words slide off me,
Crashing to the floor like broken glass,
The pieces reflecting every lie,
You ever told me-

Brilliant!
A vivid picture of the sad birth of disillusionment.
