Undammed

How could I let all this time pass?
How could I have let my life slip away?
Passion
Desire
turned to
Pain
Anguish
Passion to Anguish
How did this happen?
All this time?
Holding back
Holding in
Repressing Submitting
Waiting
Damming the flood waters
but nature makes her way through
For a moment
unrestrained
Undammed
gushing
Rushing forward
overcoming
Drowning
suffocating
Engulfing
lungs filling
Now
Raw
the wound finally open and bleeding
expelling the poison
without love
no way to heal
to close the wound
Will I be
o p e n
and
b l e e d i n g
forever?
