Benevolent Wrath

Burdensome transgression,
             How do you cling upon my soul?
Secret entity within who was born of my discretion.
How might I rid myself of your cumbersome
             wrath?

The wicked snarl of hate and rage,
            Stands in the way of my love.
Once I stood benevolent,
With love and forgiveness at the forefront
             Of my heart.

Until a shattered glass,
            Once half-full, now half-empty,
Was dropped before me.
My heart now trembles lovelessly,
            Because of the burdensome
                          Transgression.
            Not my own.

Now love rests upon my conscious,
like a blizzard to a porcupine.
The yearn never again-
             to be satiated.
