OVERFLOWING

Feelings overflow, A river's stream,

Brimming bowl, Emotions beam.

If only the heart were a faucet's might,

I'd turn the handle, shut out the night.

But nature's tides won't stay confined,

Stealing words, leaving silence defined.

Whom do I reach when silence speaks?

Comforting voice, gentle seeks.

Many around, Trust heart none bounds,

The one who heard my heart's every beat,

Is lost, no blame, No bitter defeat.

I breathe in storms, Stand firm on ground,

While sunrise whispers secrets unbound.

Ache deepens, Longing for freedom's call,

A path sincere, where heart can enthrall.

It ends with me;

The past I release, Vows once sworn, no longer my peace.

They drift to the world, fade like foam,

I lived there once, but it's not my home.

Love's eternal, yet not mine to claim,

I speak plain truth, As heart and breath proclaim.

I left behind smiles, Tears, and years,

Unspoken weight, Vanished, disappearing fears.

On sand, I write with sorrow's hand,

Waves erase the strand, as moments stand.

Yet tied, Gently though, To my fate,

Accept or not, Layers of lie, Truth behind.

Not denied, Fate weaves a thread, binding yet free,

No hatred stirs, no heart led astray.

I open gates, where barriers fall,

Leaving to live, freedom's gentle call,

Beyond all...
