Tsunami of pain

 

I waved farewell

to the ocean,

as she waved back.

Welled up emotions,

the walls began to crack.

I felt the first rush

of my built-up defences

crash

as into the deep dark waters

they did splash.

 

I felt

the first rumblings,

an earthquake in my soul.

letting

loose

a tsunami

of pain

I've held inside.

It covered

the countryside.

It flooded the cities,

villages and towns.

All were

left to drown.

 

Too much pain

contained within.

Was always

destined

to breach

this skin

and sat

upon this beach,

my tears rolling

toward my chin.

My defences

had been

worn paper thin.

 

I felt the surge,

as a storm

erupted

from around my head.

Thoughts emerged.

like stormy cloudbursts.

Rain soaked the ground,

I sat. I never fled.

Just watched.

Mesmerised.

As the waters

rose up to my eyes.
