Words Kill
Ripples some call years I counted
Pain's nipples time sucked
feeding years Silence shouted
For whispers to die ,my ears married to sound
Pain didn't stop ,the rain of tears
The laughter of your peers
The thread of thoughts wiring my memory
Naked in front of my mirror
Perfect missing only I see is my shapeless figure
Nude my esteem staggering reaching for a pillar
To hold onto to ,to survive the storm
Showers of your words that left me torn
Anti clockwise from the origin
To a negative mind state, I found a region
A pelvis of your wicked reasons
Down my eyes followed by my sleepy breasts
Trying to hide lines time has left on my thighs
You thought I was a mine
And you the right one
To crush me and draw the line
dig holes of doubt never asking if I'm fine
Your words killed my smile
Now only I see is my shapeless figure
And love nothing but a lie
