Synopsis: Broken Chains
Sometimes being the weak link is a good thing. Especially when part of a chain that needs to be broken.
Excerpt: Broken Chains
I never asked her to tell me all this.
She told me because she knew I would listen. Sometimes it’s better to share with someone who doesn’t have any prior hurts to distort the words, their meanings, and intentions in order to justify long held grudges.
The one who should be here, isn’t, and will never understand why. Now I bear the burden of two people’s pain.
One will thank me for it. The other will condemn me.
My relationship with either will never be the same.
Watching her return, pausing at the garden, I’m not sure what to do other than pack.
Time to move on, or return and face what I'd rather not. Failure is a way of life and comfortable. Question is, am I tired enough of comfortable to finally find peace?
