Anger Recalled
I
What does it mean if vain thoughts rise?
Long-buried people, events, may arise
Suddenly, even after forgiving an ex (wife)
II
Does it mean forgiveness is not?
I don't think so; perhaps quick fix was sought
Or new partner has connections to ones that fought (u)
III
Talking is the only way, the searing way
To expose little, un-needed lies, so u can say
Little about mistakes (sins?) that dont go away
IV
Hear how your ongoing discourse dishonor "now" relations
So "suddenly" is no surprise, respect his/ her feelings
And double standards decree: what if it happens to you?
Finally, written apologiesv(re-read) quell old emotions
