Aftermath

Desolation visits as
I'm gradually burning
what is left in my head.

It's like a temblor underneath.
Inevitable and perilous...
I might end up
hurting myself.

Disturbed emotions
kicking around like
big waves from the ocean
-I might be eaten alive.

Like a storm rages
destroying me
piece by piece.
All in one moment
Aftermath.

Aptly captured emotion and its destructive potential. I enjoyed this poem.
