Fountain

[Appy]

Tears streaming

freely and fully

Try not to wail

The world

need not know

 

Pain forcing sound

over my lips

muffled by a pillow

pressing it closer

hoping it can replace

a warmfelt hug

 

It never does

 

Coldness enters

want to cry

To force it out

nothing is left;

empty

 

Emotional fountain;

parched

 

Finally entered the desert of apathy ..swallow me

 

But the ground trembles

despite my efforts

Another fountain

waiting to burst

 

It always does

An engaging read, Appy.

 

I've posted some thoughts on this poem in the Critics' Corner.

Wow. This really invokes feeling, and I know exactly what it's describing. The part about the pillow replacing a hug definitly struck home. I think you put into words very well what a lot of us feel but just don't know how to describe.
