All that resentment
built up
inside of me.

After all this time,
still loving
my tormentor.

Something was born that day
from the ashes
of my happiness.

A new feeling;
a cross between 
anger and terror,
doubt and chaos. 

It simmered quietly,
growing stronger
with each passing moment,
until I could no longer tell
whether it was destroying me,
or remaking me.

This new feeling
brewing
from within me.
