Emotional Flood
Things You Can't Say Out Loud

The words
trickle
in...
Never spilling out.
Building,
Damming,
Damning
Screamed in silence
How are they not heard?
The words push
Heavy against the wall of indifference
Building,
Damming,
Damning
Dam be damned
The release, words gush forth -
A relief.
Why won't you touch me? Why don't you love me? Who is she? I hate her. I hate you for loving her and not me. Go to hell and take her with you.
Emotional flood abated
Release no longer a relief
Only emptiness
Loneliness
Damned Dam
