Ask


    Why do you ask if the answer you receive is like a knife going through your ear.

  

the inside of your ear bleeding from the sharpness of the tongue,

  which holds words that are no truer than a man loving an animal.

thus, I have to still ask if the question isn’t asked my inner workings

                                        wouldn’t be satisfied.
