There are many ways to talk about emotions obliquely. You can put them into metaphors:

The ocean is gray, and I am lost in the tidepools, with their swirling sands.

You can talk about the context:

Day fifty-three since she left, and the house grows ever more quiet

You can deny them.

Why do you ask? I've never felt happier! Why shouldn't I be happy?

You can depict them physically.

What is this wetness on my cheek?

Or all of the above

The ocean is gray
and I am lost in the tidepools
with their swirling sands: Day fifty-three
since she left
and the house grows evermore quiet
Why do you ask?
I've never felt happier!
Why shouldn't I be happy?
What is this wetness
on my cheek?
