Waterfall.

by Courageous Dreamer   Jul 4, 2009


Emotions overflow like rapid
waterfalls, as light
pounding
shakes
tears
free.

Makeup invades my eyes
within seconds
sharp stinging
like needles
puncture
deep.

Oblivious
To this random
occurrence of
sorrow.
I wonder...

Why at this very moment
did everything
just suddenly
hit me
hard?

I'm unsure of the answer.
Can someone
tell me whats
wrong? Is
everything
okay?

    Temps,

    This looks so pretty upon the page:)
    The content is one I can relate to, in both ways. I have met people who made me feel this way and also I have made other feel this.

    I think what it all boils down to is that something inside is stirring: a pain, or emotions not worked through properly and this causes someone to act in a way not related to anything the other has done. It is very upsetting and nerve wrecking. Often, we lose people because of this behaviour, only the ones who really love us, stay.
    I feel for you girl, I know you are going through a tough time. I hope all will work out for the best in the end.

    *hugs*
