I felt the emotion swell insdie me
Remembering the words you whispered..“dont say it..not yet”

Yet on the tip of my toungue the words sat
How was I supposed to hold them whin it yelled so loud!

How do you hold back the ragin waters of a swollen river
Or the pounding waves of a storm ravaged ocean

No Dam wall,, no tonnes of beach sand would stand a chance
Yet my words were supposed to sit still

I held for as long as I could, the cracks eating away at me
Frustration felt like the cracking of lighting whipping the night sky

That Dam wall broke, slowly at first the words edged out
You looked at me not sure if I would let go

Then they came out, soft, heartfelt and sincere
“I love you” eyes full of deep ocean love

Your eyes opened at first to listen,
then with the lighting shock, you were stunned

That storm wind of words whipped your face
That ocean wave pounded agasp your mouth

My words, the simplest of all, only three words
Words that were supposed to make you smile, wiped you out!

Now i Wait, the torrents still flowing with the emotions in my body
I wait and see if the words set off your distress beacon

Do I see the flare of panic in the sky or will I see the ocean calm and rivers slow?

Or will I be stranded on a deserted island all alone with the ragin seas around me……
