Words

Words

Hearts beat,
slowly, steadily,
faster, faster, faster,
into a deafening pounding,
against the walls,
against my ears,
against my chest.

Blood rushes,
flowing steam,
rushing, rushing, rushing,
as wind against my face,
through my mind,
through my body,
through my soul.

Bones crack,
smashing, splintering,
breaking, breaking breaking,
as branches of a tree,
in my fingers,
in my legs,
in my arms.

Keep bleeding,
seeping, gushing,
pouring, pouring, pouring,
as a river underneath my skin,
out of my eyes,
out of my pores.
out of your lives.

Your words,
their words,
my words,
it only,
hurts.
