Heartbreak Release

Heartbreak Release
September 18, 2004

My breath catches in my throat
And then my heart quivers
Like I've swallowed a hook
Tearing my heart apart
In slow and aching splits

My throat swallows nothing
Time and time again
And I can feel the nothing
Going down, past my searing heart
To settle in discomfort

My hands are fisting, releasing, fisting again
As if to hold back my tears
But no tears can fall
From these forsaken eyes

My lip is caught, between my chattering teeth
Below my squinted eyes
That stare from blank to blank
Refusing to look at your face

In my shoes my toes are curling
My right heel nervously tapping
In rhythym to my heartbeat
Slow and loud, an echo through my body

And when alone I grip the wall
To keep me on my feet
Head tilted back so I can look
Up into the walls blocking the sky
And see right through to Him

Now everyone has left me
Taken the hint
Alone to release
The tears hurting behind my eyes
But still no sign of letting them go

Why? I whisper to the covered clouds
Hand over my mouth
As I slide along the wall
To sit in a crumpled ball
I wonder why I can't just cry
And release the heartbreak
Once and for all

This is a really good poem, and i am so sorry no one has commented on it.
Sometimes we all just need release,
I hope it comes for you soon, and you feel better for it.
Great write,
