silence
silence like daggers tearing my flesh
thoughts throwing fierce blows crushing my bones
jealousy like plastic suffocating my every breath
and him, he sits smugly on the counter
emptiness even though you’re holding my hand
hurt because i know your mind before you speak
you telling me you can’t love me like i am
and him, waiting in the wings for your freedom
loneliness filling my every room
anger because i have nothing else
you hiding behind your drama
and him, already holding you
