Infidelity
Inescapable Compromise
Broken trust
Never fully heals;
Like a crack
In a piece
Of fine bone china
Is never quite as strong
After even the most
Careful and invisible
Repair.
The finest glue
Can never fully offset
The fracture
That weakens
Confidence, faith
Comfort and
The very structure
Of the bond.
Relationships
Can and do
Survive,
But never
Without change
And the inescapable
Consequences of
Compromise.

Well said.

A perfect poetic analogy. Well done and so true!
Your piece is accurate and true and much needed. In response to Mike's post, you did not mention forgiveness. Forgiveness does not take away the consequences and pain and loss of trust. The damage is still there. The bond will not be stronger.
