The taste of blood lingers in my mouth
as I bite my tongue to hold back the words.
They claw and scratched in my throat,
needing to be heard.
I’ve learn’t my lesson as the last time I let them free
the one who got burnt was me.
Holding my breath, skin turning blue,
oh what more can I do.
Eyes screwed shut so you don’t see
the mercy and release that I plea.
One by one the words pull at my lips,
tearing apart each carefully sewn stitch.
Caught in my throat,
out of time, I choke.
The words spill out and a tear down my face,
but yet, you manage to answer back with grace.
Flipped upside down, my world sways,
for once I am at loss of things to say.

What form of poetry would you call this, I just guessed!

typing error in the third stanza, it should be sewn instead of sown
