Tight

I wanted to be held so tight that I wouldn't break. But not like this.

It seems I'm always overflowing with words I do not have. Your grip is too tight around my throat and I can not tell you. I kick, sob, and whine like a child - but you don't understand.

You never do.

You bite my tongue and I cant help to think I'm bad at kissing.

You silence my thoughts and I can't help to think they aren't worth it.

You hold me tight and crack my glass because you like the way the shards feel on your fingers.

Let me go.
