The intensity of your anger,Burns a hole in my soul.You lash out with bitterness,Hatred fills the air.You say the past few years,Have taught you not to give a fuck.I know it’s been hard,And the trials never seem to end.Yet I believe buried in the depths,Is the happy girl of yoreRoy RichardOctober 2023
