i am struggling to discern the Universe, TOO

oft times when warriors    
of various themes -- maybe quests  
not certain of ever succeeding    
nevertheless,  
still keeping to keeping on  
to growth and self fulfillment  
despite having to bear the burden of others    
in one's self Keep.  
   
when one who has been soooooooo  
long a Friend, who a warrior defends  
turns their back on  
   
it hurts even the warrior.  
   
i know this to be true:  
some do not possess the FORGIVENESS gene.  
   
It just is not in their DNA.  
Still, the empath in me, felt the friendship strain and so,  
i suppose,  
i will never be able to let go  
   
no block  
no ignor(ing & or ance)    
no nothing  
and nothing is ever growth without dialog.
