• I lay dormant.
    Waiting.
    Letting the pressure build.
    Years go by.
    Months.
    Days.
    Incidents.
    Then it hits.
    One word.
    One look.
    Just one thing.

    And I lose it.

    My temper goes up in flames.
    Every inhibition razed to the ground.
    Emotions smoke up the air in a deadly cloud.
    Tears flow thick, heavy, and hot,
    Like lava,
    Close around my heart,
    Melt it,
    Only to turn it back to stone.
    Destruction is the only evidence.
