The hurt runs hot…jagged…tearing me to shreds
From the inside out
My heart swells with ugly anger
Filling my chest
Suffocating me
The tears fall scorching down my cheeks
The sobs are drowning in my throat
My hands reach out and grasp at straws…marked love, hope, devotion
A moments relief as I hold them to my chest
Curling up, soothed by their promise..
Then a memory, a word brings it crashing down on my head
And, again I gasp for air
The turmoil is wretched
Leaves heart and limbs numb
And wanting..
