Appy Posted March 20, 2004 Report Share Posted March 20, 2004 (edited) Tears streaming freely and fully Try not to wail The world need not know Pain forcing sound over my lips muffled by a pillow pressing it closer hoping it can replace a warmfelt hug It never does Coldness enters want to cry To force it out nothing is left; empty Emotional fountain; parched Finally entered the desert of apathy ..swallow me But the ground trembles despite my efforts Another fountain waiting to burst It always does ~ 19 03 2004, Leverkusen ~ Edited October 20, 2014 by Appy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonqueen Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 Wow. This really invokes feeling, and I know exactly what it's describing. The part about the pillow replacing a hug definitly struck home. I think you put into words very well what a lot of us feel but just don't know how to describe.
