A deep anger is flowing like a river in me.
Lise again.

Several days of relative peace after these last weeks
and then the deep mistrust she’s sowed in me
has risen again with a vengeance.

I try to make a stand against it
with some thought of seeing her side of things
but, it just doesn’t ‘play’.

My emotions of hurt and loss have finally come down
to where I can begin to think more clearly
and instead of dispassion and acceptance
I find my anger waiting rabid.

I still do not understand what she’s done to me or why
but it makes me deeply angry
that what I gave her of love
has been returned in such a way.
