“Time Bomb”

Simple dictation causes stinging abrasion

When sharp words cut like knives.

Parasitic expressions feed off depression

Worming their way into the brain.

It’s detrimental, those confidential

Sentences sticking, forming a time bomb;

Ticking,

Ticking.

Then comes the eruption, rampant destruction;

Explosion of debris scatters misery

Towards long-term pain; there’s nothing to gain.

Weathered relationships are blown to pieces by the harsh elements

Packed into the time bomb that words can create.
