Of Monsters and Feelings

Long days passed

As I rested 

My pounding head

On my cold hands

Reflecting 

A memory

Now like 

A shattered 

Glass mirror.

It started with

A heartbeat

Rising ever

So slightly

Next came pain

Like hot needles

Protruding quickly

Through my skin

And a dull pain 

In my stomach

Ruining all my nights.

With the realization came the terror

And the terror turned to worse

Worse than any word so spoken

In conversation or in verse.

I had never known such anguish

Such despair or numbing fear

I couldn't dream of an existence
Without your presence living here.

All my feelings became monsters

Feelings once I loved to feel

They made me cry out in my anguish

They did me harm and made me ill.

But love's a healer

And I still need you

As I watch the pouring rain

Come and put your hands on my heart

Come and make me feel again.
