Jacob sometimes your poems are too deep for my mind to grasp but that's my problem not yours lol
I love your work, even though I don't understand some of them. You are so talented, I feel I shouldn't even be on this site compared to you and others I love this as all your work you and a few othrs are my inspiration to go on

Sounds like a one way amicable divorce and that only leaves the conciliatory party vulnerable. Another thinker here Jacob as one struggles with the concepts you interweave in this one.
