Spilling

by maralong

His eyes bored into mine

I looked at him questioningly

The words started spilling from his mouth

As if his mouth were the faucet

And the words were the rust

I tried turning off the faucet

I even tried fixing it

All I did was get cut up

I cried and fell to the floor

I sobbed until my sides hurt

Life is a hoe

All i could do was hold myself

and try not to break

My twisted thoughts

Became silence

I cried for love and for life

I never got a reply

I never saw him again

In a way I suppose I had

Physically I saw the bastard everyday

But i never again saw the smile

Or kissed the lips

Never again did I say

I love you

Never again did the arms protect me

Never again did I live
