Let's Leave It There

You left in anger and despair with hand grenade words thrown in the air how much you didn’t effing care although I knew that wasn’t true a heavy door had slammed shut behind you so I looked up to the clock for a minute then began to stare at shrugging shoulders shaking heads scratching hair all looking at your big empty chair with not much left for me to say except that our time was up now we too had no choice other than to leave it there.

This is a superb description of anger. The door slamming is usually the focus, for whatever reason, I'll never know. Blessings for happier times.

Thanks Hilda. I wanted to catch that moment of anger, with words that can't be unsaid & doors can't be "unslammed". Best wishes :) M
