Black and Blue ( the colours of a grudge)

sue.evans

Life becomes black when you take a grudge

And hold it close, locked inside to fester,

Pushing away those that want to make it better

The words of forgiveness stuck in your throat

The steel in your eyes, the set of your jaw

The physical signs of the grudge you hold.

 

Your mood becomes blue when you take a grudge

And make it part of the mask you tote 

The grudge you hold isolates your body 

Leaving you alone with only the grudge for hope

The tears of pity falling down your face

As the rage of your grudge pours out.

        Well we do tend to beat ourselves up over these things - hence black and blue!!

        • Nicholas Browning

          Yes, yes we do, haha. I just had to take a poem down because I didn't think it was good enough to be here. Shame, but blue is my favorite color!

          • sue.evans

            Never doubt yourself Nicholas!

            Good write. Grudges should be over almost as soon as they start as they cannot be any use at all.
