Anger

 

Until yesterday I did not know
we had any anger at all,
had no idea,
and wham,
allofasudden
we both had some.
It was very funny.
We were very angry.
It was very real.
Where did it come from?
What was it about?
That's what I want to feel.

As soon as I
couldn't say
what you wanted to hear
you humphed off in a huff.
I thought that was enough.
I don't like games.
It's not that I mind so much,
but I don't even like card games.


There's still a bond of some kind.

Tonight I realised again
That I love you.
I feel (no sobs)
If I was dying
and had one earthwish left,
I would wish to smell my favourite smell,
to smell your skin again.
I would die weak in the knees.

I know we love each other,
but it's not appropriate to say
too often,
too loudly,
to anyone!

But it's unconditional,
I am still in love with you.
It is beautiful.
