Quakes

 

In pain

 

my wounded soul cries out for you.

 

Seeing you brings tremors to my limbs.

 

I feel the north wind

 

cutting and stabbing me.

 

Ice water

 

courses through my veins.

 

My mind shivers.

 

My body is an earthquake

 

of emotion.

 

I'm shaking now.

 

How long do the quakes last?

 

Will I break apart

 

into so many pieces?

 

I feel the avalanche of rain

 

rushing up in my eyes.

 

But it is the wrong time.

 

I can not cry now.

 

Crying in crowds is too demanding.

 

It takes your total concentration.

 

I want to run away from you and yet,

 

I want to run straight to you.

 

Instead,

 

I sit and tremble,

 

Crying where no one can see,

 

but only on the inside.
