A+ A- |
You foam at the mouth, your
Words dribble down and
Hit
My
Hand
One by one
In a caustic line.
The soapy bubbles reflect
My saccharine history. My words,
Do they nauseate?
I dull your agony
With the click of a finger.
Reduce feelings
To
Dust in the corner of a textbook.
Your words eat through
Our dead cells;
I need acid to neutralise the burn-
I have only water and throw haphazardly,
We toss and turn.
