swallowing razors

you shove your words down my throat

little razors that shred my esophagus

i am filled with these little razors

they have cut through my organs and guts

they have reached my untouched heart

and destroyed that, too

your words have done more damage

than any other part of you

and i am filled with them

they have devoured and consumed me

i am hollow and empty

but your words make me think i'm full

when i'm starving for a little kindness

a little something softer than a razors

you know they can see the razors peeking out through my eye sockets?

the razors slicing through my skin?

i'm just a limp sack of meat and flesh and blood

and i can only take so much

before your words become me

and i become nothing
