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

Nicely said, Anil! Love that last line too. How sick do we make ourselves when we replay our emotions, continue to live 8n bitterness?

Amen. Thanx for your positive comment. This "anger" happens to the best of us ... for no reason, memories are revived. It may be sights,csounds,vsmells, words, accent ... I had a dislike of a few names. Then I met great Judy's & David's. Lol!
