Breaking Up
we could trade tit-for-tat, hurt for hurt
keep fueling the anger flame
or look in our own cracked mirrors
note the middle-age faces
and recognize that by blending our lives
we brought a lot of troubled history together
mercy, forgiveness, grace
ultimately love
is the only memory
worth keeping
