Silent Apology

There it is,
the glassy-eyed stare;
Followed by hours of silence,
nothing left to share.
So very quiet now, 
I can hear the light bulbs hum;
Pride shuts down our vocal cords,
but our words are just playing dumb.
Who will outlast who?
For god only knows what prize;
To the victor go the spoils,
It's really just a lie,
No apologies are whispered,
as i gently stroke her face;
forgiveness finally fills our hearts,
yes it's love moving in god''s grace.

For some of us it took years to let go of anger, for some a constant anger due to constant abuse and/or constant betrayal. But once you let go, once you work to constantly hold on to that ability to forgive ...then it becomes so much easier. You words bring peace Carl :)

This is a very special moment you have shared. Actions are sometimes the most healing when the words Elude us.
