Fits of Rage


Fits of rage. 

The pivotal moment when the heart is torn and the mind flashes red 

the eyes drip salty tears 
the lips that once stole your breath now taste bitter with blood. 
It is when the rage subsides that 
the broken shards of a world once adored crack beneath my feet with every step. 
It is the silent anger that is to be feared, 
for it lies within the soul, 
simmering with rationality. 
It is a constant sinking in the heart, 
a dry eye but a stormy mind. 
It is the ashes of the flame 
that burned too fervent to survive 
It is the whisper on your lips 
and the shouts on your tongue.
