Watering the Graves of Thought

I dug down deep into the earth, "minigraves", I said.
Each stab I took, each shovel full, removed my seeing red.
I thought today, when riding home, with plants to garden fill
How nice it'd be, if only he, in kindness, would use his will.
Each time I try to settle thoughts, to calm inside of me
He disappoints, impatient look released in words from he.
Completed I, the pansy faced, the sweetest williams seen
Shaped the garden, to my taste despite the want to scream.
The silent sounds that shake my soul, my confidence to naught
Rattle still inside my head, between desires caught.
If only  you were in my shoes, though small compared in size
Then you would too, know why these plants were watered through these eyes.

You describe an emotional battle very well. Sometime a person has to do something constructive with the energy anger sometimes creates. This is a good picture of that.
