When it ends Do we really know? Denial or hope Or just plain stupidity? Years to cultivate Minutes to forever ruin Trust and love Most fragile when ignored A callused word, Stuck through the heart Brings blood, kills feeling More than any weapon known Holding on to a memory Hoping for a future Sometimes better to set them free And save hope for tomorrow Love one another-let God do the worrying, Rodney |

Sometimes the kindest thing to do for someone, and indeed yourself, it to set them free. Don't know whether I read it right there. GREAT poem  |

yep you are right on taramw...and I just came to the conclusion you reached recently...the feeling was still fresh, so why not take advantage of it? Love one another-let God do the worrying, Rodney |

~RB,...this part just stings me... A callused word, Stuck through the heart Brings blood, kills feeling More than any weapon known.... ~Wow,...how true. Well written. *Peace. |

Hi Rodney, this was so eloquently expressed. And so true. Isn't it amazing how one or two words can truly cut deeper than any knife, yet they can also uplift you to heights you never knew. Great poem, great words. Catalinamoon |

God this really is so true. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |

LOVE this. Nailed desperation down with this. One minor suggestion... A callused word, I would change that to "callous" instead... |

Dear Rodney Real truth here, in such an emotional piece. I love this kind of writing. I'd rather a knife any day. Great work. Sylvia |
