#vitriol - Hello Poetry

One filled with vitriol, Another with dread. Feelings of hatred poured forth from their head. But at an impasse ‘Tween forever and now, The two took a moment To bring each other down. At the end of it all, When the dust settled clear; Stood the two former lovers, Eyes wrought with resolution; They had finally come to a sort of conclusion.

What if I just sat myself in the chair with open ears to silence? In quiet, would the voices play over and over, even then? What if I unplugged myself for a moment, no longer? Would it be time enough to see the vitriol I become? In quiet, would my love be renewed? In quiet, would I realize the pain created by hating the hater? More than disparate views, I hate anger. I hate violence. The master's walls resist the master's tools, I read it. Even she, she would despise my guise. "Oh, really?" She'd maybe say, "Get lost. Be gone." I feel it. What do I do when I'm part of the crew hated? Do I spend my days hiding or out fighting? What do I do when I'm part of the crew hated? What if I want to change minds and hearts slowly? What if sudden, forceful changes break us? I think you know the answer -- we're primed to explode And I don't Believe a racist, transphobe will ever love me, or learn me. And I don't Believe a word, a turn of phrase, deserves a bullet in the brain. And I don't Believe for a second that I'm anything but truly naive. And I don't Believe that's bad.

Lover — This is not your home. You are no longer Welcome. I mean to tear you away, tear you apart. We were entwined, We were enamoured. We were. Midnight passed, Hostilities Commenced. Wounds Reopened. All truths spat. All bets told. I will cut you from My heart. I will erase Your name. Lover — You are no longer Welcome.
