Spun Glass

Two years unyielding,
pain held in spun glass
surrounded with liquid anger -
heated resentment refusing to cool.

His sudden words broke me,
a heartfelt apology stripped my anger,
tears shattered the glass,
my heart released from the memory.

A lifetime of connection resumes
in snapshots revisited
with laughter and knowing smiles,
the glass swept away.

Wow, love this, from the title through to the final line, great metaphorical use of words. The second line is excellent.
