Brother Mine

Brother Mine

The pain so graven
Man betraying man
Emotions fly to intercept
And save a failing heart
Not important, not essential
Try; try to push the knowing down
            to places not visited.
To forgive? To overlook, to salvage..
Essential for survival.
But not forgotten.

Barbara - This poem really hits me hard this morning - For the sake of our site I have let it go - But never will he have anything to do with me again - Michael Torres is nothing like what he claims to be - He has used and abused one of the most beautiful people I have ever met - She is a walking angel on this earth - Thats the end of what I have to say other than I apologize for all that has happened - God Bless you hon and may you have a beautiful day, MJ

Excellent write, Barbara. I can feel the internal battle and love the final development of forgive but not forget. Great stuff. Love, Nigel
