she opened her mouth
and let it all out

the words spewed out her mouth
like a rapid waterfall
with vicious waves
that can cut a rock

heads turned and gazes widen
i wanted to slowly walk away
crawl under a rock and rot
turn into soil for the next flower
maybe it won't be such a coward

but all i could do was shrug
shrug-laugh-shrug
because as usual
another part of me drifted away

i'm more of a shell than ever
