Breaking the Calmness

I've known since time immemorial
That you never did like me.
"Why is that?" I wondered.
But it's just you, isn't it?

And yet we tolerate each other
For reasons unfathomable.
I'd like to think there's no need
To declare open war on each other.

Frankly, I don't care
What you say about me.
But if you insult the ones I care about,
Draw your sword and fight me!

Great! Look at what you've done.
My temper flared once more.
Thank God we're far apart
Must remind myself to wait, again.

Karma will come to you eventually,
That's all I can say at the moment.
If not, then when I return
I swear I will set things right.
