Feelings

How can you trust a feeling?

When a feeling is all you had?  

For that brief moment between heart beats

When life and death seem intertwined  

Your breaths are deeper, faster, harder,

And your palms begin to sweat  

Love, hate, pain, sorrow all coalesce

In a symphony of beauty and madness  

Vivid are the memories

Longing for what may be  

Swirling, turning, swarming in your head

Every thought rushing forward to that exact moment  

Love has no boundaries

Hate holds no sway  

Pain is but temporary

Sorrows go away  

But,

How can you trust a feeling?

When a feeling is all you had?
