Antithesis

How can I balance
something
so emotionally
skewed?

How can I reconcile
echos of feelings,
seemingly forgotten,
but still visceral?

How can I ignore anger
only able to escape
through fissures
of pressurized
discontent?

How can I face
the truth
that I loved you
with no quarter?

unchecked
unchallenged
unconditionally

This,
the backlash
of my silence
and your decision
to walk away

No closure
no resolution
no validation
of such
elemental loss

Not even a word
or glance;
no tears shed
for all my suffering

You simply
turned your back
on the one person
who truly loved you

You can live with it

I cannot
