After the Rage

By Brit 54 views

1st Place 2003 Torino Award Winner for “Outstanding Poem”

After the rage is the heartache
After the rage comes the fear
After the rage flood the memories
As I drown in my unanswered tears
After the rage taunt the questions
After the rage trust is lost
After the rage darkness shadows
As I embrace my heart’s bitter frost
After the rage is the grieving
After the rage, reckless prayers
After the rage hope is fleeting
As I desperately try not to care
