A Rush of Emotion

I felt a rush of emotion.
A tiny river erupting from my eyes,
The only way my heart could explain and soothe its self at the same time.
Words just wouldn't do,
and my mind knew it too.
A tiny river erupting from my eyes,
The only way my heart could explain and soothe its self at the same time.
Words just wouldn't do,
and my mind knew it too.
Down my face,
The rain of a powerful but neglected storm fell.
Creating new grooves and surfaces
Creating a new wall of armor,
With compartments to catch my fallen dreams.
I felt a rush of emotion,
The rain of a powerful but neglected storm fell.
Creating new grooves and surfaces
Creating a new wall of armor,
With compartments to catch my fallen dreams.
I felt a rush of emotion,
Overtaking my spirit
And drowning me out in the ocean deep waters of the future.
And drowning me out in the ocean deep waters of the future.
After awhile, all dried up,
My heart hardened and broke for the millionth time.
My heart hardened and broke for the millionth time.
A trail of dust inside the newly opened ridge down my long and weary face.
A glistening in my eyes that still foolishly hopes to be heard.
A glistening in my eyes that still foolishly hopes to be heard.
Finally, I look up and realize,
My storm, my river, my deepest ocean,
It is but a single tear.
One youthful, explosive droplet,
Impatient for the future,
And terrified of the unknown.
My storm, my river, my deepest ocean,
It is but a single tear.
One youthful, explosive droplet,
Impatient for the future,
And terrified of the unknown.
