Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign to my body

He was a magnitude eight

That crumbled my world after shaking it so fiercely

A quiet storm before the turmoil began

Bountiful love

True and passionate

With desperate longing and secrecy

Tremors came to surface

Too powerful to contain

I thought it best to release them

The tremors that shook me

Relief and confession

Unburdening my soul

The tremors kept building

Beyond my control

My soul became restless

In passion and love

Breaking on the inside

Spilling out all above

Then the earthquake did hit

The damage was done

Secrets pooled out that could not be undone

Our world it shook and I couldn’t bear it

So I crumbled instead, and you didn’t deserve it
