Something in my heart is unsettled. I cannot explain it by words or tranquilize it by sleep or soothe it with music. Like cannon, it keeps on hitting and breaking the walls. Keep on invading the space of my peace and quiet.
Be still, my heart. Why do you keep on shouting and screaming and yelling things that I could not understand?
There is something in my heart that is akin to a small scale panic and chaos; the kind that would disturb the surface of the water without splashing any, but enough to make the whole lake ripples.
Let sleep take over, my eyes. Why do you keep on fighting for light?
Sometimes there is smoke, there is love, there is tears. Most times, there is confusion. I just need to be dissected. Someone to tell me what is wrong with me. Myself to understand what has been displaced somewhere deep inside the crevices of my heart. So much love and pain traipsing aimlessly in my veins. I do not need this gift of emotions.
Let there be rocks and immovable mountains. Reverse to seven years ago. Reverse to when this heart was encased in stone.
Let there be peace and quiet. Cover me in darkness, hide me from light.
