can you not feel how tight
your words wrap around my throat?
do you not hear the sound waves drowning me?
don't you hear my cries of pain
as you pull me apart with tweezers and scalpels?
no matter how long i hold my breath
no matter how still i lay
no matter how many times
you pull and cut
you will not find yourself
in me
