The Stare

She gave me the bad look, and she gave it to me good She gave me the hard stare, it had to be the most angry glare I stepped on her bad side when I made a newlywed mistake Now I have to take the witch's ride: consequences can be severe for the wrong choices we make I got to look on the bright side; her bad look doesn't look as bad, once she give me those sad eyes ... after she has calmed down, and is no longer mad

Hi Freddie, I could relate to this poem very well. We have been the giving the "stare" at one point or another(especially women).But that moment will pass. Well done:-) Alexis

Ty, Alexis. That is one of the most uncomfortable moments in a relationship ... when your loved one is genuinely angry w/you. They let you it too. As the saying goes, if looks could kill. But you summed it up well, that moment will pass. Love and peace to you.

Thank you for your kind words and for your warm welcome to Poetry Soup, Linda. The range of emotions in a relationship is very wide and complex. Anger is a part of it, but so is forgiveness. I will go and read some of your work. Ty for reading mine. Love and peace to you and yours.
