Friends' end cuts deeper than a lover
Like a shattered teacup, bleeding
on you for days, weeks of grief.
Should time mend the cup, I -
...know it'll break again.
I forgive you.
Will you be
Sparing
Me?

"Any last words, cowboy?" "None you'd understand, sodbuster." "Funny. That's Marshall Sodbuster to you. But I meant some last nugget that would help us in the adjudication of the myriad offenses counted against you and your gang. I wasn't asking for penitence."

The authors ability to convey such a deep and heartfelt message in such a few words is truly remarkable. The symbolism of a shattered tea cup symbolising wounds and the broken state of the relationship. Bleeding, symbolising pain and suffering. Each line builds on the previous one to create a powerful impact! Wonderful!
Hopefully they forgive you as well. Sending you lots of love and hugs β€οΈ
Heartbreaking and nicely written!
