Emotions a whirl
Emotions unfurled
Unfurled then trampled
Unfurled then crushed
Crushed under a heel
Crushed under the weight
Weight holding me down
Weight making me drown
Drown in emotion
Drown in pain
Pain that is felt
Pain that goes deep
Deep are the scars
Deep is the hurt
Hurt that can't mend
Hurt that don't end
End of dreams
End of hope
Hope for more
Hope for others
Others I love
Others I need
Need to protect
Need to keep safe
Safe from harm
Safe from everything
Everything that is
Everything that can be
Be it good
Be it bad
Bad for me
Bad for all
All or nothing
All is gone
Gone away
Gone in a moment
Moment remembered
Moment lost
Lost forever
Lost in time
Time has faded
Time not mine
Mine not yours
Mine to protect
Protect from harm
Protect from danger
Danger of you
Danger of trusting
Trusting
You
