A Regretful Temper

Oh what a dire regret to lose one's love

A play of fate

Would you say?

Or rather a play of my own luck

Thrown upon by the evil sense

To dream and scream 

I used to 

To throw tantrums

I used to, every now and then

Pounding my fists

And requiring that my needs be met

Now, having lost the lover at hand

For an eternity with no fathom

I have turned resilient

Brave and understanding!

Such a loss

A decade ago

After a yell on the phone

Cause the knot of my heart

To be tossed in a new path
