His lips were the sharp shooter.

Words like daggers pierced my heart

but soon,

Reality began to spread through my veins like poison.

Emotional roller coasters twisted and turned behind my eyelids.

Puddles of emotional distress and helplessness fell pass my cheeks

as my body rocked back and forth

to the rhythm of the daggers that continuously pierced through my chest.

My head swelled

as the venom from his words clawed through my nerves,

leaving trails of Reality to continue its path through my blood stream.

My vision clouded.

My hearing impaired.

My body quivered.

Streams of watery torture scarred my face.

My hands failed to obstruct the path of this pain

as Reality continued to travel its way through my skin.

Afraid to let it set in,

I begged through my lungs

as breathing became impossible.

When it was over,

reluctantly, I let it set in...

The poison began to feel sweet.

Overcome with Reality,

my body limped over,

allowing the overflowing of relief to drain from these swollen eyelids.

I sat,

weightless,

as my face dried

and my heart throbbed as the poison made its way pass my vessel.

Reality doesn't hurt so much anymore.
