you displace your anger
on the wrong person
they
are not to blame
and all the commotion
you have caused
you
alone wear the shame

when you have all
that you do
and still look
for so much more
you lose
the very thing you had
and the future surprises
it had in store

cant say
that you are sorry
and continue
the same old something
all the apologies
that you have made
now subtract and add
up to nothing

A nice way to tell someone they are a zero.  If there is a nice way *S*

h,
I like these lines the best:
                                    "and the future surprises
                                          it had in store"
Captures the unmeasurableness of such a loss.

(sigh) Yes, it's so very sad to see people saying they're sorry when they don't mean it by heart. (sigh) Love is the only thing that can make apologies happen, and your loving heart shines with them! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet Helen! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
