Choking On Your Words & Bruises

Bruises

You knew all this,

You even let it become a part of you,

“Who me? A bully? I don’t think so, friend. Not I.”

But yet, you knew it all the same,

That words don’t ever leave bruises,

And that is what you’ve counted on,

All your life.

 

Choking On Your Words

When they found him, His face, it wore a perfect smile,
No troubles etched upon his brow.
The cause of death,
Was hard to say,
He’d smiled just once,
Just once he smiled
And then his eye-shine and soul
Went on their way.
 
They cut him up to find the cause,
And there they were,
In stomach, blood,
And in his brain,
He’d choked on all the words inside
All the words he’d tried to hide.
He kept each one -
Instead of spitting all them out,
They killed him in the end.
