Weep with Me

Weep with me

I hold my breath in
I won't let this free
 There's no stilling this ache
That's inside of me
The grief and the pain
Rip away and break out
To flow like a stream
From my eyes and my mouth
A high, keening sob,
A deep, throaty sigh,
Escape with great force
And I finally Cry.

"There's no stilling this ache" is such a powerful line. Great poem, Crystol.

After reading your most recent, I went to your first one to confirm that you've got it, and you've got it. Brevity lines delivering substance - my fav style of writing used on the majority of writes I'd lifelong accumulated and brought with me to Soup. I've since found thrill, beauty and challenge in longer lines, but I'll always be fond of bam, bam, bam lines - like this emotive one. I'll be back to visit. Must not forget your name, that's the hard part ... CayCay
