Black Hole Heart

Dealing with a little postpartum right now...

It's bubbling up again.

I can feel it.

Clawing to the surface.

On the verge of physical...

Intense, heaving.

Frustration.

Anger.

Hot and heavy.

Like a witches brew...

Uncontrollable emotions.

Tears stream.

I spit and swear.

Churning weight in my chest.

A great gaping chasm...

of nothing.

Man, I could relate to this since I could read the title! I feel like my heart is a black hole sometimes and how I'm afraid of not caring enough by certain things in my life...how others tell me that I don't care about anything or anyone around me. But they must understand that it's not easy to care when you have no feeling...when you have no ability to feel...

Exactly. It's a suffocating feeling sometimes. Thanks for reading, I'm glad you related, means I'm doin my job ;) lol

I love the intensity of the poem - excellent language choice and you build up tension effectively right from the get go. That "churning weight in my chest" is a horrible feeling that I have experienced a few times. I must read more of your writing as I enjoyed the darkness of this. Justine

Wow! Thank you! That's quite a compliment, please, read away :)

This is so real, and I have been there too... So I can say, that you did wrote a great write, out of pain, anger, and you captured the perfect feeling of a "Black hole" more than good... It can feel so claustrophobic, and suffocating... yet, there is nothing, in the center of the eye.... Well done, sharp work. :)

Thank you so much!

You're welcome :)

I've said this a dozen times in my short time as a part of this community, but really, what I get the most out of here is the stuff I can't myself experience. Gaining insight, or just a raw emotional glimpse, into the myriad facets of life I can never fully understand, feels like a privilege.

[love, lorey]

I agree. Completely. It can be so eye-opening :)
