Emotional Overflow

by Angela Hanska

Heart hurts and tears appear
I can’t stop the feelings
From rising to the surface

The drop of salt water
Runs down my cheek
And I cannot stop it

There is no reason for me
To feel this way and yet
This happens time and again

Once a month, every month
As if every sorrow, every
Sadness, every pain

Comes barreling out
To use me as the vessel
To enter upon this world of ours

This flow of tears is never ending
Only slightly postponed
Until the next time

When the force is too great
And the dam breaks or overflows
And consumes me once again
