Swallowed screams
I can feel the scream rise
in me like liquid fire.
Lodging in my throat,
burning my esophagus
as it tries to boil it’s way out.

But I swallow it
down like bile.
I won’t give you the
satisfaction of seeing me break.

Your words peck away at
me like vicious birds.
Stealing away pieces of me
Widening the whole in my
heart you started long ago.
I catch as many as I can,
chew them up and spit them back at you.

Although I far surpass
you with my linguistic prowess,
It is I who lay bleeding
while you stand with barely a scratch.

The edges of my verbal
projectiles blunted,
Eroded by the salty
tears that slip between my lips.

While yours hit home
with surgical precision,
Wickedly sharp with your
cold indifference.
Filleting me.
