33. Betrayal 

Nov29

Betrayal comes from the empty chair,
Betrayal comes from the broken cup,
Betrayal comes from the thunderstorm stirring trouble in a wounded heart.

Betrayal comes from silence,
Betrayal comes from you,
Betrayal comes from all the things you did and did not do.

12. Unseeing the seen

Nov21

I cannot unsee your pain
now that your tears have fallen,
I cannot unread your words
now that your voice has spoken,
I cannot undo my mistake
now that your existence is orphaned,
I cannot unknow this truth
now that my eyes are open.
