A Clean Break

a clean break from the past
  perhaps too much to ask

delicately loosen, never yank
  rips and tears leave memoirs blank

So true, Gershon. It is really difficult to "delicately loosen" the scabs from our past. Doing so sometimes causes the bleeding to start all over again. I always wondered why my mom said, "Do not pick at those scabs!"

Your Mom sure spoke a mouthful of wisdom there, Chris, when she said not to pick at those scabs!! Great comment. Thanks for sharing. :) gw
