black hole named Aylmer

Flames of hate are rising,
anger bubbling over.
Its intensity is surprising
and difficult to hold under,
under my skin, in my mind.
I'm tired of being so kind.

Don't wanna keep my thoughts unknown.
Loyalty is breached,
no solution can be reached.
Calmness overthrown
by rage, fueled by betrayal,
alienation imminent, no sympathy
for the loyal,
Only hostility.

Stinging words used malapropriately,
truth tainted by gossip.
One trying discreetly
to sever the bonds of friendship.
Rationality thrown away,
this pain is here to stay...

The feelings in the poem were so deep, so explosive, I could feel you anger, bitterness, and pain. Very very well done! All I can say is wow...

Sincerely,
Titus

Beautiful work expressing yourself.  I loved this, because the intensity of the emotion is well done.  This piece hit me hard.
"I'm tired of being so kind." You're tired of being the doormat... being used and abused.  Very familiar feeling to many, I'm sure.
"Don't wanna keep my thoughts unknown.
Loyalty is breached,
no solution can be reached."
Trust... aargh.  A very hard thing, especially when you've been hurt before.  Time and time again.
Very nice job with this poem.  I must say, I am very impressed, and I look forward to reading more.
Thanks for sharing.

I will also have to steal the word "explosive".  I thought the emotions literally jumped off the page at me. VERY VERY WELL DONE
