The Hurt is Real

Treated like you don’t deserve tepid greetings that unnerve No sparks of warmth nor dying embers Did you hurt somehow this family member Once you got along just fine then came changes over time Until she simply stopped calling you and when you tried, your calls eschewed The hurt is real, you want to say yet you fear she'll go away So, the game you continue to play leave another message, call it a day

BB....l think this poem will resonate with many! I am so sorry its happened to you and you are hurting especially it being a family member. Could you not reach out to her and ask why? The not knowing why is the hardest part. Heartfelt and touching write! Debx
