Sorrow

How come,
that lump in my throat
which almost suffocates me
the burning tears
of years suddenly
opening like a channel.

That pain
of being lonely
all those saved up child tears
looking for a way out now
for space to accommodate love.

Oh how disappointed first the child,
than the woman
I became on the outside.
But the child remained
now looking for space, love and warmth
to live.
