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...

yep, sometimes the urge to let go is strong.
everyone needs some kind of release, even the kind ones.  Enjoyed.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Joe, I know just how you feel, generally I am always a person who wants to love everyone and make peace with all, but if someone does something abusive or unfair, I never hesitate to speak up. (sigh) My heart goes to you, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joe, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
