I cry because I'm throbbing,
I cry because I am so sore.
My sobs are heard by all,
no one listens while I bawl.

Frustrated, anticipated, agony flows,
I cry because I yearn.
I cry because I burn.

a slow sizzle,
popping and pussing.
A Violent thrashing.
Seizing in,
pain.

A numbness flows through me.
Down my elbows.
eyes.
Spine.
I cry because I'm faithful.
I cry because I try.

After reading one of my (now) favorite novels, I was so moved by the intensity of the feelings the character felt after losing a loved one.
