Enough

Somewhere along the way we lost it and I cry wondering if I could have stopped it. Just my hindsight saw it all unfold. For years now it has been more than my heart can hold. Mentally, your voiced views batter me. Emotionally, your behaviors shatter me. We have completely turned from love’s way so, I dwell sad in past days laid tainted and frayed. Though no final death scythe ended us, separation bereavement exists between us. I search for moves holding love’s right stuff ‘cause I need to show you, Mama, I hurt enough. ...

Mothers and daughters often struggle. When it is good it, is very good, but when it is bad, it is sad...simply put. I could feel the emotion in your words my friend. I hope better days are ahead. Keep safe xxoo

I just knew right away this was about your mom. So sorry for the way things are, Caycay. The last two lines were very impactful. Love how you took the poem to the title line.
