Shoebox

I hid the 

serious feelings 

in a shoebox 

underneath my bed

with the 

inability to express them, 

but desperately

drowning,

needing,

 them to pour 

out of my

bleeding heart.

That's why I started writing.

Because otherwise 

I would drown

into numbness,

nothingness,

emptiness,

hollowness.

And it 

started with the

shoebox

that saved me,

lying underneath the 

place I dreamt, 

with the words I 

could never say.
