Feelings

Words of concern voiced

Blown off by the wave of a hand

Tears sting her eyes

She doesn’t understand

His anger foremost

His words see the the bitterness

She has done nothing to him

Yet His words bit her in two

The tears fall softly down her cheeks

Feeling betrayed by His anger

Asking herself

Why did He snap

What has she done

Her feelings cut deeply

Her heart bleeds

He tries to apologize later

But the damage is done

Her soul is sad now

Once alive and full of joy

Now dark and full of tears

He watches her

Knowing what he has done

Not sure why

He snapped at her

Really He was angry at another

But she was there

So He let her feel His wrath

What has He done

Will she ever forgive Him

She turns and walks away

Never to voice concern in His direction again

She was not His love

He was not hers

Her feelings were as a friends

She closes the door that connected them

Protecting her heart

From His harshness ever again

Feelings are so strong

Yet so weak
