Tightness of the throat
Followed by dryness
The gullet tightened a bloat
A vocal cord in silence
covering skin will smother
My mind comes to surrender
Any Potential lover, My abuser
Shivers riding up
Structured ribs now scrub
Against the hollow club
All this for what you called “love”?
This is a poem about an abusive relationship. During, the aftermath and the realizations.
