Sickness of a Heart

I have seen a man ill
with unforgiveness which ate
at him like a cancer,
spreading through his soul

then his spirit, until
even his laughter hurt
and hurt others to hear,
and no true joy grew

inside him, no contentment,
only reaffirmed sorrow while
the man he held his grudge for
walked about life freely
unhurt.
