*a bit gruesome*

Your words

Are knives slicing my throat

Taking away my voice

Scared to insult you

By asking you to stop.

Your words

Make me smaller

Bit by bit

But it’s ok

As long as you feel better.

Your words

Hurt more than you think

And I never did anything wrong

Or so I believe

But I’ll still love you…because you’re human.

But why can’t you stop?

I’ve just existed

And even that’s not enough?

Your words

May kill someone soon

I used to think it’d be me

But I think it’s gonna be someone

Close to me

Someone I couldn’t protect

So please

Stop while you’re at it.
