At Last, At Peace

. . . . It’s been a while since I let tears shed in your name Not because you’re unworthy, rather because you’re at peace I am unaware of how we ended up here Pulled in 2 directions Yet each landing on our feet, in different places. I look up at night and smile Knowing […]

Crushing Guilt

Have you ever felt guilt? I’m not talking about the guilt associated with an extra sweet, one too many drinks or even with a choice you wish you could take back.
