no surender

Frustration coupled with anger
Is leading us to resentment
A deep swirling pool
Of unanchored emotions
With the power to destroy
Harshly spoken words
Still bitter to the taste
The retorts echoing in my mind
Driving me to madness
Compromise requires immediate silence
Wisdom will dictate
The appropriate response
Lust and desire
Bring short-lived gratification
Expectation levels starting to wane
The truth remains
Love watches
And sleeping, slumbers not
