Speechless Poem by Collette Y Anderson Williams

Floods of emotions swell within me.
What is this? , I ask.
I've been here before;
But the cycle kept reminding me
That I'd always be left alone.
 

I tried to hide every indication
That I have been 'affected' by you.
I'm so afraid of telling you
Just how I feel.
For no doubt, again, I'd be left alone.
 

What must I do?
What should I say?
How should I feel?
This overwhelms me
As I've been feeling empty without you.
 

Perhaps it's all for naught
As I may be just another blank space
Which you care not to fill.
I wish I knew exactly
Where to begin!
