The Grudge

You retain
your luster
like a pearl
on an ocean shelf
undisturbed
protected
in your crypt
the icy water
preserving
your power
polishing
your poison
positing
your pain
anticipating
the moment
I will snare you
in my emotional net
fish you
from your cloister
with my hurt
pry open
your hypnotics
and reveal you
for the
imposter
you
have always
been
