Dam in my Mind

A plethora of waves is beating at the dam I have built inside my mind  
It is inexorable and radiant, filled with memories I cant unwind    
Faces and places repossessed by choices that I made  
And emotions filled with promises I thought would never fade  
I adamantly try to build my boat so that when the dam gives into the commotion  
I can hover above the endless sea of my boundless emotions    
Ill be stuck looking down at all my choices that I have made  
Trying to surround me, drown me, make me go insane    
And I fear that when this dam surrounding me finally does break    
That these memories of old loves will be too much for my sanity to take
