Forgiveness unfelt
Like a snake stuck in your throat
Forever to squirm where you feel it
Looking into the eyes of an iceberg
Desperate to humanize her but
Deep down I find no faith
I cannot feel that golden grain
In the pit of her stomach
I do not sense the gentle pull of
Fragile humanity solty sweat
Too cold
To get naked soled in front of this
Shell limited by self-protection
Yet I feel her deeply so I can't even hate
Had to reconcile today with someone deeply hurtful and desperate for a victim role.  Only to make everyone else feel more comfortable. This might be the first time I am so willing to scratch someone out of my life.  Yet there is more even to her than a one sided disdain I feel. Raised in neglect and abuse, a verty busy lady lawyer now, very proper, yet so joyless and blind
