I am incensed

The ember

in the area of my heart

begins to smolder

emitting smokes

into my lungs

making it hard to breath

hard to suppress

the words yearning to get out

of my mouth

But my tonque

has managed to take charge

blabbers more decently

of the brain's concern

And yet

the words "I'm sorry"

are stuck in my teeth

like plaque

It's hard to be truly forgiving when we have the bitterness of anger in us. Great poem.

I recognize the feeling. Not sure my tongue is as smart as yours.
