Private Emotion Poem by Nina gáspari

I tried swimming in
Morning dew that covered the leaf on that old tree
That i used to climb as a fearless child
Running trough the woods, running wild
I fell asleep on your shoulders
Resting my tired eyelids
Amongst silly dreams
Sometimes I could hear your heartbeat
And I could feel you breathe
I tried evoking
All those emotions I had kept private and that I once sworn
Never to show them, not even once more
Screaming at the top of my lungs, the louder than I could
Screaming just like I thought I should
I fell exhausted and restless
Resting my sore feet against yours
Amongst silly hopes
Sometimes I could hear you whisper
Sweet little things to my ears
And I could see your lips move in slowmotion
I tried living in denial
But I couldn´t resist to that private emotion.
