Fire in my veins
A pounding rage flowing
Bile in my throat
Threatening to overwhelm
Pinprick tears held back
Power bursting through
A shaking hand
Held before my eyes
Blood oozing
Torn skin like a ruined banner
The hand is my own
But no pain do I feel in any place
But for my heart
I will not weep for you
The pain I feel is not for the loss of you
I will it so
I scream within my soul
My raw wounded voice raised
In anger
Anger at your betrayal
Can you hear my cry?
Do you recognize it?
Or do you hear it like wolf howl
In the night
An unknown sound
Striking the heartstrings
A staccato violin solo
Subconscious response to an unknown pain
You won't look at me
But I can see the death in your face
You would see none
In mine
I will it so
I've put up a wall between us
Brick by brick of anger
I just hope it's enough
It will be enough
I will it so
