Bitterness
This corrosion
Eats away
It waits inside
Sometimes seething
Sometimes sleeping
Always there
Waiting patient
Unknowing
This potential
Lying dormant
Then erupting
Blood infusing
Anger Rising
Now transormed
Finds expression
Articulated
This tirade
Wounded pride
Bursting forth
Brutal logic
Selfish viewpoint
Scattered careless
Venom vented
Mortified
This wreckage
Empty vengeance
Things said cannot
Be unsaid
Pyrrhic triumph
Guilt takes hold
Regret overwhelms
Festering
This resentment
Now retreating
Falling silent
Again it waits
Acid interior
In constant vigil
Monkey riding
Beseech for healing
