It’s dripping like a leaking tap
Into an old sink
Plink, plink, plop
Watch it filling over weeks, months
Drop of worry here
Splash of anxiety there
A potent salty cocktail
Built on volatility and fear
The dam sets up to burst.
When it’s time will you know?
No holding back the wave
As I’m overcome with the flow
I feel the overflow explosion
Words tumble out
Tripping over everything in the world
The salt is stifling my breath
And I sob like a child
Feel like a fool
As I am overcome
Until it has had it’s way
And left me a broken wreck
On the floor
