Emphasis
Your words
The hate within them stays
Like banging against my skull
Like a drug
A high I can't escape
Completely intoxicating my mind
The toxicity  
Spreads throughout my being
It pounds through my core
It seeps from my pores 
Pumps through my veins
It overcomes me
It becomes me
The words that you murmured against the shell of my ear 
"You are nothing to me."
