Anger Fades, The Hurt Stays Poem by Anita Atina

Anger Fades, The Hurt Stays

Rating: 5.0


The unstated question

Are you angry?

Belies how deeply hurt I am

An undercurrent to polite conversation

Strains the talk, to uneasy jerks


You know it wasn’t right to cut me off

Without saying why, and yet you did

Leaving me wondering, what did I do wrong?

‘It wasn’t you it was me’ you say

Stuck is a grave dilemma about the future


I grimace a smile

The unknown future, matters more

Than the reality of me, today

I turn away knowing, you don't understand

Anger has long faded, the hurt stays.
