INTERNAL TURMOIL Silent thoughts Silent screams. A deep dark hole Unopened box, Build a wall Keep it locked, I can’t allow the cascade of emotions Deep within, Hidden, Frightened of loss, A loss so great A thousand lives couldn’t compete With the love I feel for you, And the loss, the emptiness The nothing I’ll be left with When you’re gone. I’ll love you dad forever And one day soon Once again We’ll be together. J.R.Littlewood
