Living In Silence
By vallwrites
~
You clasped your hand over my mouth,
silencing me.
You held it there for a few minutes
before you finally took it away.
But if your hand is no longer there,
trapping me,
why can I still not speak?
Why can I still feel your presence,
your hand over my mouth,
your breath tickling my neck,
suffocating me,
when I try to speak my truth?
