​I feel it physically.

It swells up,
​takes up more room than it should,
squeezes out all the rest.

outward pressure...

Open & pulsing;
​a messy puddle

​it does,
Its too big & too close;

​Like a full-moon

too dark to be out
without my eye-sockets
to cry tears for my heart-puddle.

​dryness,
​coldness,
darkness,

​& chest pain.
