Choke on words

(From 2008)

Choke on words
Tongue swimming in the sea of unsaid statements
Chopping, spinning, creating enormous waves
Throat closed as a warning to keep the secret buried
Pure utterance becomes such a chore
Thoughts tumble around in the head, planning their escape
The weak sound of a muffled “No!” erupts
Then a scream, shrill and earsplitting, fills the air—
A memory that’s finally shattered clenched teeth
