I missed the way you talk
Ramble
Vent
Suppressed emotion poured out of that bottle
Spilling out of your lips
Was it the anxiety
Or the whiskey
That made you burst
Tears ran down your face
But they weren't salty
They were sweet
Beautiful
Glass
Reflections of those hazy memories
Cold
Yet memorable
For their hostile dinners
Shouting matches
Hot hands wringing around taught skin
I'm choking
Please stop
Please let me go
I'm tired
I'm trying to sleep
No matter how many times I close my eyes
I can't stop picturing
Those haunting eyes
Please let me go
I'm trying to run from the past
But you keep crawling back
On disfigured limbs
Dislocated shoulders
Slithering past all the walls I had built
To keep you out
How many bricks crumbled
Just to fuel your hunger
Stop raping me
My soul is mine and not a chew toy
For your calloused hands
And talon teeth
I'm not an object
I am my own
You'll never break me
But I'm definitely cracked
That's when I woke up
I realized that you weren't beautiful any more
