Spill

SPILL

Spill my feelings into words

And actions that you deflect away

With a single word or a bent hand.

Spill my love upon the sheets

Like river water or sand.

It falls through my palms

And soaks into the bed like tears

I need to let this feeling go

Like flood gates being released

Ragged, thrashing waters until they

Flow equally and slow

Until it is a bedrock.
