Pain Fuels Anger

You lash out, speaking ill of love,
because you're feeling wounded.
Your pain fuels anger
and you let it take control.
Someone has hurt you
and you want to send that hurt back.
A sorrowful review of love lost to time
and yet, kept alive in memory, nonetheless.
Betrayal shook your foundations
and an implosion of feelings
broke your heart into a thousand pieces.
And now you use anger to protect yourself
from the jagged edges of reality,
refusing to surrender your feelings meekly.
And your cry is added to the countless others
whose tears get hidden behind a shield of anger.
We are all subject to our baser needs
and emotions, desires, and failures
form the clay from which anger takes its shape.
Your attacks allow you
to evade sharing the blame,
and yet, you can't see that,
blinded by your pain.
Corrosive, raw rage eats away at your heart
spiting up the vile contempt
that hurt wallows in...as love dies.
