Here Comes The Explosion
Watch the secrets,
watch as they spill
from my still-beating heart,
wait until the last one
floods the room,
drowning your lies.
Then come the memories,
vivid as a child’s dreams,
restoring what you
never wished to remember,
listen as your own voice
speaks from my mouth.
May you taste the salt,
as the tears finally come,
held back for so many years,
now maybe you feel
exactly my pain
and share in my burden.
