Who instigated the abandonment?
It’s an ugly question
manifests pretensions
both sides righteous…
blinded
When the rage subsides
faith will intervene
and acceptance –
a milestone
will springboard
recover, victims’
voices gaining clarity
intent amended
launching into love
once again.

Acceptance is such an important (and often hard-fought) milestone after we’ve been hurt and betrayed.

Yes, “launching into love, once again..” is optimistic – in 2018 or 2021.
