Anguish swells like a wound
they had been so close
and now determined tough love
could in time
become a part of them again
Her trust shattered as
broken crystal bits
scattered over their abyss
like grains in the Sahara
He must gather them
securing granules
into a mosaic
of confidence and trust
Her heart lesion
following betrayal
must be assuaged
mended
rebuilt over time
He would restore dependence
in acts of love
and constant fidelity
toward rebuilding her faith
His resolve to deserve her
begins without assurance
only forgiveness
and a mutual touch of hope

If the trust can be regained, then there is hope for renewal and repair of the relationship, but if that is not a component, it will be an uphill battle that will end in frustration and sorrow. Sadly, sometimes love just isn't enough. Very nicely penned, Bill.
Take care,

You have the conditioning down to a science and it's the only wisdom to work on an unconditioned love. I honestly believe this would work for me also.
Thank you!
