She ate the bread

Decades passed in memory's dust. Too many betrayals between us. For material things, she always lust. She ate the bread, left me it's crust. Let it go, forgive, I know I must but in my mind I just can't trust. She ate the bread, left me it's crust.

Thank you Christopher for visiting my page. I'm working on letting it go to reestablish trust which isn't easy. Have a blessed day.

Hi Sara, Bingo. I will forgive and hopefully the situation after so many years will be equitably handled. I am now only thinking of the next generation.

Forgiving helps forget Nancy. Nicely penned.

Hi Sotto, You are absolutely right. It can be quite challenging though. It's a part of my own personal spiritual journey, "lick the wounds and go on" but at times they are still festering..
