Beastly Valentine

Years later I still wince
Remembering how I cursed you
The lightening-bolt of my bitterness
Shocked even me
Exposing my self-satisfied
Complacency that I
Had put all that behind me
My hatred and my fear
Something demonic I still
Wrestle to contain
Poor self-pitying beast
Forgive him in your name
That through his suffering and pain
I learn to love again
