Irritated Soul

Avenged never by bloodshed yet seeing red 
Never harming another yet thinking dark
Growing harder to control and feeling stark
Raving mad while pure rage unfolds
Yes it is taking over reason and rationality

Maybe these too will soon pass, be replaced
And yet love can be too late, without grace
Nodding silently to fury's haunting will

Letters he's written yet never able to seal
Ordinarly it's not his personality to steal
Serenity from those who are content
Eerily as of late he's been hell bent
Sadly, more so with every season

I've warned you now that wrath takes its toll
Tangibly irritating everyones spirit, and soul
