Darkness
encroachinig
i cover myself
in silence
and try to anticipate
the ending
but
the ending is unknown
as unknown
as it
can be
gasping
curling
curving
twisting
spun around myself
a web of silk to keep out the hurt
hands pressed to my mouth to keep in the words that betray my
weakness
i cant show my weakness
the tears that taste like gin
and tonic
i swallow them and
pretend they are not caused by
your words
spoken
unspoken
all the words that
tear at my flesh
eat my soul
tangle in my hair and bite
bite
with venomous teeth
that leave
scars
bright red
on my skin
bright
red
but i press my fingers to my lips
and supress
repress
This is my lot
my liife
i try to fight
but end up here
on my floor
fighting back tears with
silver
