what is this feeling? 

why am i feeling this? 

confusion,

pain,

happiness,

sadness, 

all at the same time. 

they're circling my brain, 

whispering, 

all their little chants. 

soon they form one voice, 

a voice that seemed so familiar, 

yet one that i could not grasp. 

all the feelings,

combine to one as well. 

one that i do not know of, 

nor am i familiar with. 

what is this feeling? 

i could feel it tugging at my heart, 

tearing to pull it apart, 

yet at the same time, 

it's gentle,

as if tugging me along, 

like a child tugging their mother,

like a lover tugging their significant other, 

like a gentle pull of a father on his daughter on a swing. 

and then it takes pieces of my heart, 

slowly,

one by one. 

why am i feeling this? 

waves crashed against the shore calmly, 

a raging storm destroyed the peaceful atmosphere, 

a looming sadness settled over the happy family. 

joy was etched on a girl's face as she ate her ice cream. 

why am i feeling this? 

so many emotions, 

each one so different. 

and why at my heart?
