Thinking Listening Speaking

Heavy Heart Downpour

You see, 
these words are on my mind
and almost on my tongue
but they can’t come out

I want to speak,
but my fears
overtake my mouth
and I can’t.

And as these emotions
threaten my very being
what else can I do
but write

write to escape
write to think
write to bleed
write to cry

I want to speak,
because I miss you
and I want to see you.

But this confusion is like a rain storm
of emotional chaos.
I feel the rain and the wind
but I can’t see past my heart
