Terrible choking feeling
With face burning hot and eyes full of tears
Threatening to spill
But I won't cry in front of you
Sometimes I forget how paper thin
My skin really is
When you slap my hand away
Not even literally
Just a few cross words in my general direction
And the panic sets in
I can't handle being crushed by you
Your kindness set precedent for
How we interact with each other
And your bark hurts worse
I'd rather you bite me
I feel like this is always the beginning
Of things taking a turn for the worse
Especially when your apology
Is "I'm sorry you feel that way"
Instead of "I'm sorry I hurt you"
Its not that you hurt me like he did
But if you unravel me enough
I will lash out at you
Like a wild animal, trapped in a cage
And I never want to hurt you
With my viscous, viscous words
Severing whatever holds us together
So instead, I will burn alone
