they rise at inopportune moments
to spoil a party, destabilize bonds
throw life into disarray
everything feels incomplete, imperfect
suddenly revealed lacunae
threaten to engulf contentment
achievement, sacrament
emotions in deep slumber
rising from subconscious
holding grudges
destroys all that you built
over decades

Yes! Agreed! This resonates Reena! Xo

I like the phrase ’emotions in deep slumber” as if numbed from all that could be and could become. Grudges hold it all captive.
