1These words are killing me
As I say them
I write them
As I think them
I see them
Forming inside me
Around me
On me
Behind
Everywhere I see
Words
I hear them whispering softly
Screaming deafeningly
Singing melodically
Reciting in spirit
Stabbing my heart with all that is
Itself meaningless
But still invading my thoughts
In my wake and sleep
Conscience lost within
The dark ocean of oblivion
Haunting my soul and all that it is-
Killing the essence of my self
Challenging to change all that I am
That is incomprehensible
Into the explicable
All that is mysterious of me
Into the vulnerable.
