So many times
I've slept
with the words
still inside me

I thought I was
letting go

Now
I wake up
with reflux,
burning like shame

I was too unwilling
to ask for forgiveness
so I slept
with my mistakes

Feels
like a volcano
on the verge
of eruption

Sadness
fills the gaps
of your teeth
as you smile

Mixtures
of epiphanies

And the scariest of all
is extreme loneliness,

The fact that you will
live through everyone
leaving you

Emptiness
feels a lot
like acceptance

Expectations
May be the root
of all heartache

And heartache, to me
Always felt like heartburn
My body screaming words
I never said
