hot tears. stinging cheeks.
rage.
at what? I don't know.
I just miss you.
no one understands like you did.
no one will hold me and let me cry.

so I'll cry alone.
aching in the alighting of a fading memory.

tight skin.
burning, splotchy face.
I'm sure I look awful.
salt-water stains.

I don't understand!
there's a black reservoir deep in my soul
that is too full.

and sometimes it bursts.
