Silence
the sharpness of this penetrating pain
stifles my well known eloquence
choking as it sticks in my throat
if only i could speak it
if only i could spew it out
i scream but the scrambled sounds strengthen the pains stranglehold
i whisper but the wind wraps tighter this breath stealing pain
so pen in hand i sneak it out
spreading this shame across the page
soundlessly sharing this poisonous painful secret
breaking the
strangling
murderous
silence
