Did I cry
for all the times you left me
Or was it the pain
that I was unable to escape
No matter how much time passes
Or how long it took me to recover
I'm still hurting inside
reflecting on my life so far

Tears like avalanches.
                                                    O­verwhelming.
                                                                ­                     Unleashed potential.
Sadness like waves.
                                                    Devast­ating.
                                                          ­                           Unceasing assault.
Fists like thunder.
                                                    Enga­ging.
                                                           ­                          Unintended consequence.
Hate like earthquakes.
                                                    ­Consuming.
                                                      ­                               Unwanted arrival.
Smiles like sunshine.
                                                    Cap­tivating.
                                                       ­                              Unassuming appearance.
Happiness like hurricanes.
                                                    E­very feeling.
                                                        ­                             Unending experience.
A simile in disguise.
