A Hurt Heart is A Well
sorries left unspoken
speak sorrow into me
rotting apologies seep
until I’m drinking them
as tears tip into teeth
salt stings rotten,
forgotten wounds
I found I forgot why I weep
I keep a mess of a well
of unaddressed hurts
in my chest
the water does not leave
until I stop my seething
and stop to start heaving
a heavy heart
filled to the brim
with emotion buried deep within
my heart drops again and again
until teardrops swell
and tell on me
there is so much residing
residuals biding
their time
til they are dealt a lucky draw
drawn they depart
