What
You and they might agree upon
Is anger and rage leave nothing
But a bad taste in your mouth,
The slow burning regret that
Forces you to face your demon
And think of another way to
Handle them, should they
Occur again somehow, someday.
But time cannot be turned
Back and what is done is done.
What remains after that anger,
Which explodes into rage,
The hurt in other people’s feelings,
The vows that they will hate
You or the promise that
You will never forgive
Them, whichever arises first,
Cannot be undone.
