Forgive - Date Unknown.

I’m sorry I wasn’t strong enough.

I’ve wasted more than my fair share of time thinking about all the ways this could have played out had I been brave enough. But this defeat is one I have to live with and like any companion in life, unwanted or not, you learn what you can from each other.
Or you tear each other to pieces.
There’s plenty of that going around though, so I took this chance to show the strength I couldn’t when it might have made a difference.
And I hope.
That maybe it’s not too late to salvage even a scrap of dignity out of all this.
