my lips are bleeding
restraining the violence
that my mouth is keeping
choking on silence
until my heart is breaking
swollen with contempt
of my own making
I could repent
liturgies I'm faking
to play pretend
the love I'm forsaking
of my own end
somnifacient and ply
vandalized until rotten
gathering lilac and lye
silent until forgotten
