Why are emotions so hard to control?
A single feeling stays, never letting go.
Memories locked in a box deep inside,
A trigger opens it, no place to hide.
One sight, one sound, and the box breaks,
Memories and emotions flood, more than I can take.
Longing for someone I used to love,
Anxiety mixed with the pain above.
The echoes of love, still clear in my mind,
Bringing back moments I tried to leave behind.
I want to escape, to run from this pain,
But the heart remembers, and it's hard to explain.
Emotions linger like shadows that don't fade,
Silent but present, in every space they invade.
In quiet moments or the midst of a crowd,
They bring back feelings I'm not allowed.
Longing and anxiety, they hold me tight,
Reminding me of love and the sleepless nights.
Though I wish to quiet these echoes that ring,
They are a part of me, and the truth they bring.
So, I sit with these emotions, let them flow,
Accepting the longing, embracing the unknown.
But in the darkness, they whisper,
A constant reminder, that I'll never leave them behind.
