The reconciliation of a feud,

Today occurs between two friends estranged,

But, puzzling is, one party never knew,

The other harbored bitterness and blame.

It was indeed a grievance justified,

Although a silent anger, closely kept,

A poignant fury never vocalized,

A thorn the heart ignores but won’t forget.

No declaration of offence was made,

With no rebuke and no rebuttal hence.

But remonstration seldom satisfies,

Remorse is far less common than defense.

Forgiven are transgressions of my foe,

Thus ends this quarrel fought within my soul.
