Caged Rage and Shadowed Tears
How dreadful is this rage,
Like my eyes closed in a cage.
Love and violence—an uneasy pair,
A mystery, a shadow, a lingering despair.
A battle rages within my soul,
Aggression swallowing what once was whole.
Simplest pleasure in deepest pain,
Harmony lost in a feral refrain.
In the eyes, unshed tears reside,
A heart that fought, but now must hide.
Was he the one, the home I knew?
Now just a ghost I wander through.
Decisions firm, but hearts still break,
Promises shattered, the soul's mistake.
Brutality blooms where love once grew,
A cage of rage I can't break through.

@cocosand
A very nicely crafted poem. I appreciate it's savage emotion. The tight rhyme scheme and consistent energy makes the whole piece feel tense and strained, as if suppressed feelings are only barely held in check.
@BastionKnight Thanks knight, you explained really well :)
