When Tears Come
Long winding battle ensues
Splitting my head
Unfolded and re-opened
Wounds unhealed not dead
Words not often used
Thoughts not spoken
Unacknowledged pain
Bursting open
When it finally breaks
The crack crumbles
Raw and unadulterated
Rumbles and tumbles
Water rolls down
From the mountain to sea
Gasping for air
Just breathing to be
Howling
Wailing
Shaking
Whimpering
All spent
And gone
I sleep
Am done
