I slid your words down
hoping they would glide down my throat
but they cut up the insides of my mouth
and rested there on my tongue

I spat the shards out and wounded them
watching their white turn red
and I saw myself in their eyes
and I heard you when I opened my mouth
so I swallowed my hatred and left
