Great poem, Eddieee.
I have a tendency to bury my emotions and Iโ€™ve noticed that I seem to block out many traumatic or even unpleasant events.

So, what next? Do the skeletons stay buried or come back to haunt you later?

We all have skeletons. What you do with yours, and if you let them haunt you, is up to you.

If you swallow all your feelings
They'll surely make you sick
A case of indigestion
For which there's no quick fix

Emotional constipation
Is not a laughing matter
I can tell you my experience
Of resultant verbal splatter

When my lovely served me hurt
I didn't fuss or make a face
I swallowed all my fear and doubt
And said retroactive grace

Later, my sweet innocently grumbled
Angrily, my stomach rumbled, and out the word vomit tumbled!
It got all over him and me,
Covering our situation stickily
And I got tearful with despair

Lovely is patient and lovely is kind
He helped clean up the mess from my mind
Hopefully I won't swallow bitter feelings in silence
To later erupt in such verbal violence.

Well said! There should be more consequence for serving hurt, but in the end, it is how we react that matters.

Worth isn't properly given these days. Holds onto every moment . . .

Whatโ€™s the point.

Well, the other option is much less.
To not care, to push everyone away . . . it leaves you alone. Sure, by choice, but is it really what you want?

Because I am poetically illiterate, can't comment on your poem, Eddieee.

But my 'ocd' went over the roof when I spotted a missing full stop at the end of your poem.. I hope it does have some kind of special meaning like that, otherwise I will not cope with it. ;)

Not to worry, I left out the period on purpose. The last line, "In hopes that something stays" is meant to be a lingering thought. It is not meant as an ending. :D
