Your words like fists to me

You said you like me.

It made me feel like a leaf,

Falling in a certain panic

from a tree.

Slowly, without control,

Only thinking

Oh god, oh god,

oh god.

You said you’re weak.

That night I got home

and knocked on my bones

instead of the door.

And they sounded

so hollow,

They only echoed

that it hurts

everywhere, everywhere

everywhere.

Later, you asked me

what’s wrong?

I locked my answer

behind my crooked teeth.

Swallowed the key

And felt it hit my stomach,

While I managed to say

Nothing, nothing

Nothing.
