screaming and yelling

for things that cannot be undone

a raging temper, hidden under

warm flesh

heart beating at

610 miles per hour

thump thump thump

trying to drown out the yelling

focusing on an ever-increasing heart rate

focus on your breaths 

sharp and quick

flared nostrils

bite my tongue

always bite my tongue

wet

something is wet

it is thick and it is red and 

it is dripping from a palm

in the exact space that

nails were digging into 

flesh so 

that glass

would not be broken

the marks

like little crescents

smiling 

and mocking

-n.c
