So I stay self absorb in my grief
Clinch teeth tightly around words that I haven’t spoken
And haven’t screamed
The words of anger fester in my mouth
And lay eggs…spawn’s of livid little hurtful demons
And slimy bad dreams
In my wake
I can taste the plaque that plagues my tongue
And infest my lungs
Like spores of rage of the things I’ve done
And I lay still so that I don’t vomit
the sludge of my hurtful grudge
In the direction of those that don’t deserve such love
Love? Yes, love as same as hate
I swallow back my spiteful waste
And the demons I fought fight my vice and regurgitate
And the lining of my bowls burn
And with my lips sealed I howl
And they twist and turn
So I still lay without movement
And the flesh of my midriff glows lucent
And it grows impregnated festering in its fallow fluids
I absorb the embryo
But still feel empty though
I’ve digested and recycled the insalubrio
It now travels through my veins
Like some tormented strain
Of a virus from Styx of which unnamed
It multiplies and my cells atrophy
And my red blood turns black with apathy
Fever spreads and consumes my head
And my skin dissolves
For this disease decree from things not said
And I fight the infliction
And my bare muscles glisten and tear from bone
Till the ivory structure underneath stands alone
One by one my organs fail
Disintegrate from unspoken tale
And now I sit slumped a mere shadow is all that exists
And the memories or anger held in, imprisoned by lips
And as light comes and I fade away
I realize my false pride
Lead to my decay
