Like a sudden cold wind which gushes and blows I feel an extraneous chill dominate my heart And I start to shiver unwittingly All movement surrounding me Cunningly submits to slow motion Sounds emitted reverberating deep in grave tone Everything reluctantly grinding into a state of paralysis   Within I sense the oncoming heady rush And an overwhelming darkness begins to pervade Breathing untempered and somewhat laboured A distinct pulsating thud presiding inside my head Limbs heavy, yet no physical pain Urge to cry out met with an inexplicable inability Eventually, I too am rendered motionless and emotionless I feel trapped in a dark abyss The icy wind snarling; a maddening maelstrom   I suddenly gasp, And retaliate with resolute unprecedented vigour Though my eyes are blurred, Down my cheeks I feel a cool moistness Realising then it’s a rivulet of tears flows ceaselessly Splattering silently to the ground   Like the start up of a merry-go-round at a fun fair The absence of silence slowly breaks The oppression begins to lift Tentatively I take small breaths Simultaneously trying to control the gasps In between cold and uncontrolled shivers In the brief preceding moment I was weakened and left vulnerable Having experienced a tremendous emotional heartache!   © Elga ~Indigo~ 9 September 2006 – All Rights Reserved 12H12PM    Heartache
