How do I even begin to explain
The echo in my bones
That crescendos every day?
How do I describe
A feeling so raw, so piercing
Until you’ve felt it before?
A yearning so intense
That it shakes my veins
And the blood in them
Ripples with the rhythm
Of the thoughts in my head
Till they stop.
How do I put into words
Something that transcends language
Something that surpasses all attempts at expression?
Something that gnaws at me from morn till eve
A tiny voice in my head that never speaks
Till it screams.
Until it drowns my dreams
With spirals of fears
Daggers and knots buried deep.
How do I put into words
A feeling I don’t know how to feel?
