When The Anger Does Subside by James M. Haggerty Saturday, February 22, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
Looking in the mirror How colours fade in time Reaching for the yesterdays The ways that you were mine Regretting our misfortunes The wrath of things we said The hurtful lies and screaming The tears our hearts have bled Is where I found my mourning Languished in my pride Drenched and soaked in sorrow When the anger does subside My solemn pain and promise My resolve for a new start In begging your forgiveness Does your love have a heart? I'll pick up all the pieces Our broken dreams and hearts Return them to the evening And skip the hurtful parts Profoundly I'm in mourning Without you by my side Will love suspend this scorning When the anger does subside

How good a word is "languish"? Great use of rhythm and rhyme. Mal.

James... I really REALLY related and liked this poem.. How could you not be forgiven with such honesty in your words..such feeling in your cries.. i could feel it through this screen.

This reads so smoothly, yet it saddens... it's so difficult to recapture what was, when people have torn each other apart... but, it's not IMPOSSIBLE. - Good Write.
