Words slide off the tip of your tongue
in such an eloquent fashion.
You speak and I watch
as sentences soon form into daggers,
aiming straight towards my heart.
With you I have no walls.
The sharpness of your words penetrates
the very depths of my core.
You stand there like nothing has happened,
you can't see that your words cut through me like a knife cuts through butter.
Tears stream down my face.
Snot drips from my nose.
My skin turns pale with every hurtful thing you say.
Then you go,
go on like nothing has changed.
Leaving me here …
broken…
In pain…
dismayed at the life I now live…
