I can't even begin to describe The storm that's raging deep inside Emotions swirl like wind and tide And every breath feels like a fight. All I can say is that it hurts Feels like shattered glass in my lungs, broken words Wheels crash, tattered past, life's unspoken verbs My heart's in pieces, torn apart And every beat feels like a start Of another wave of pain and ache That threatens to consume and break And though I try to hold it in The tears come pouring out like the rain Each drop a reminder of the pain, a storm of the emotion that I can't contain. I wish that I could find the words To paint the picture, to be heard To make you feel what I'm going through But all I have is this: it hurts.
