Angry typing,
Heavy words.
Acerbic emotions,
Like sharpened swords.

Write the absolute truth,
Then delete.
Sugarcoat the truth:
Make it bittersweet.
_____________________
Time to press ‘send’;
Your finger hovers.
Sudden palpitations
About losing your Lover.
_____________________
You read and reread,
You feel nothing but dread.
But the words need to be said,
So you can stop seeing red.
_____________________
‘Send’.
_____________________
Deep breaths.
You shake your head, asking yourself:
‘Is this the end?’

I felt this. Lol.
Especially ‘but the words need to be said’.
The hope is to wait, cool down, modify the message and send.
But hey the ‘red’ drives us sometimes.
