Walking on eggshells
afraid to slip
or make a wrong move
as this is when chaos will reign
and the explosion breaks out.

Like a heavy thunderstorm
your words fall
crashing down around me
and making me feel
as though there is no shelter
from the storm that you have created.

You're like a monster
that cannot be contained
your words are like venom,
trickiling slowly,
painfully
into the center of my heart.

Burning away as it bubbles inside
and then creating a wall
which means I dont hear you
or feel the venom that you project.

I'm sheltered here
away from the storm
yet the loneliness kills me
and the strength that is needed
to pretend that I don't care
brings me into a tunnel of darkness
of which there is no escape

This is very sad, but poetically powerful.
May there be peace and may you be aware of your strength.
Love,
Margherita
