Poem

Something gnaws inside.
A memory, a moment, and
a space of time held
within electrical impulses
now jolting inside of my mind.
The eye sees what is no longer there,
the ear hears an echo of past sounds,
the skin tingles with forgotten touch,
the lips taste someone else on them, 
and the nose burns with the scent.
Heart beat quickens.
Bitten with anger and fear
that belonged to a five year old girl,
who was she?
An overload is building up inside,
on the brink of breaking out.
Stress turns to panic
the air leaves the lungs;
you can't catch it now.
Nails dig into flesh
voices dim and expand
eyes clench close
the brain throbs, sparking.
Teeth bite flesh, red exposed.
Can't let it break.
Inside the image, a vase falling
catch that, don't let it fall,
put it back! Hurry!
It falls faster.
She overheats, colors swirl
walls dance.
Eyes see only him
skin feels only him
ears hear only him
lips taste only him
nose smells only him.
A hand catches the vase
a moment before impact
eyes open.
A tear falls from the cheek
and shatters
to the ground.
