Feeling my feelings.

Can you tell me why my heart bleeds so hard,

When the diamonds fall from the Full Moon Sky?

Can you express the feelings deep down inside,

That hit me harder than an ocean’s tide?

Why do I cry when the sky turns grey, when

The cold rain is here to stay?

Why do I cry when I hear a mother bird

Sing to a nest full of babies?

When the winter is harsh, my frail

Soul sinks into a careless sleep

Where mountains sings to thee.

Why does it feel like my body is on

Fire when we speak?

When words make sentences

And weeks turn into slaves for the months

To come, I can hear the church bell in the

Distance.
