A passive shadow of anger
Skulked in the doorway
Of a youthful decade
Beckoning mirror images
Facades walked hand in hand
With ego,
Right past opportunity
Into the arms of complication
Dissension and aggravation
Warding off warnings
Belligerence reigned
With a crown of insolence
Contempt, concealing shame
Castrating proposition and resolution
Then, a new decade, new life
The silhouette of antagonism
Dissipated in the reflection
Of her blue eyes
A second chance
To be whole again!
