Cuts from a Dull Knife

sins
most
hard to
grok lie not
with my misdeeds but
those committed by or against
one i love for if she smeared her soul with the offense
then i must examine my affection for cause, effect, and consequence to balance
whether love's innocence can abide in her darkness but if she be the victim then
do such clouds of guilt resonate and rage within her
no squib of forgiveness can spark
a puff of grace where
we pretend
all bells
ring
well
