It starts in the chest
Unexplained a pain wants out
Cannot repress it
But once the worm leaves
Your own composure be damned
We will all know it
Your secret kept in
Gestating until no more
Ready to outburst
But wait there is more
As the secret squirms away
No it is not over
The ugly truth grows
Hideous despised but where
For it stalks and eats
We want to kill it
Well before it kills us all–
Love starts as a pain
That seeks expression
Which tears the lover apart
Runaway monster
The Space Between Me and You
