(while thinking on an ended marriage and slowly growing friendship)

If you think anger burns in me
like some patient flame
waiting on skin to melt away to bone
then you must think me softer than I am.
For something within me is quicker than flame
to protest the life of your continued crimes.
I am aching because of you
smoldering in impatience
and wondering why you care at all
since you've been gone.
Hear me when I say I'm angry
because you said you loved me
then twisted yourself
into something unrecognizable.
so you lost yourself
you lost me
Amd sometimes I hate you
because I have guilt enough for us both.

You could hurt me with your bare hands. You could hurt me using the sharp edge of what you say. JEWEL

um...
empathy, sympathy, something is floating around in this head of mine. I feel your pain, I know where you're coming from... a hundred cliches that just don't quite do it.

This one reached me. Very, very well done.

I really like your opening lines in this. I'm sorry for your pain, but I know you are a strong person and you will come out a winner regardless.
