Open Heart

I opened my heart
And poetry began to pour out
Over flowing
Embarrassing amounts of poetry.
Adverbs and adjectives by the handfuls
Like grains of sand slipping between the cracks between my fingers
Confessions.
Fears.
Desires.
I felt my cheeks flush.
Why did I keep so many words in my heart?

the last line is perfect.

i would send you hand sanitizer (as per profile wish list) as a sort of congratulatory present but i'm afraid of it.
