Explosion

The pain inside forebodes

that my heart will explode

if it doesn't find a vent -

to pour its contents.

My heart lies packed 

in a vacuum

within which unexpressed emotions

fight for room.

Emotions of love, doubt, anger, pain

rot inside in vain

It may have been a positive one,

but a rotting emotion always causes pain.

In all this suffocation,
I've had one realization -
I have to open up,
for my heart to lighten up.

My heart is a time-bomb,
ticking away in its last moments
brimming with rotting emotions
and feelings lying latent.
