Judgment wrought
The enemy of synchronicity
Betrayal begat betrayal
Righteousness for those to clad stones
Words that chattel
Disbelief in belief in oneself
The rights and the wrongs are but opinions
And detente is nothing but hard to come by
Not forgiveness, agreements to disagree
But doubt
Doubt that this will work
A reckoning unsure one wants
Betrayal is in the eye of the beholder
However, stings do not lessen
just because of whom endures them
A modicum of trust is a fragile foundation
Being the better person is a point scoring solution
Understanding is not for everyone
The responsibility for the beliefs of others
A weighty burden,
Only equaled by the zealotry of always being right
But what it would be to be wrong
Is this the price for self belief?
The numbing effect of time – the hope
And hope is all that any of us have
The recovery, timid, and fragile
Damage done, an undoing yet to be seen.
