Brief

Emotions are wet

They are sticky and messy

And they don't stay and

They smear themselves down the side of your face

And they run their fingertips along your brain

And they leave you dripping

Messy

Wet sloshed tears running sticky with mucus and dancing down muddled puddles resting at the tip of your nose and chin

Grimy sweat wading along creases in skin

And pooling in damp wrecked habitats

Feeling too much

All at once. 

Emotionless means dry. 

Means very clean cut. 

Means no movement. 

Means no mess. 

Means in the moment there will be no immediate pain or discomfort. 

Because everything will be very neat, 

Very straight. 

Very right. 

Maybe not interesting. 

Or unique. 

But it won't be muddled.

And it won't be messy.
