Aww Mary Anne, so sadly beautiful. I've told my own daughters when their father has done or said something so wrong and they are asking why, he is only capable of giving so much. He doesn't have anymore in there. You can accept him as he is and avoid a lot of disappointment, he is who he is. Does it make it right? Absolutely not, he's not going to change...I wish that wasn't the case...hugs you-

This has touched me beyond belief. The word choice is always epic and you outstand your poetry my dear MA. I am in love with your word choice and I have went with you on this journey reading your authentic words. Some verses held subtle meanings and others just knock the heart. Thank you for sharing what makes you sad in such high manners. Another great poem!
