Language of Us
January 23, 2012
a voice speaks louder
than words
pounding you with diction of the tongue
beating you down
like wrestlers in a match
stabbing you with a meaning
so deep
you bleed understanding
while you fight
to stay alive
from a voice
that does more than kill.
syllables that slice you in half
and burn in your soul
they wring out your heart
like a wash cloth
full of water
leaving emptiness because
words
do not hurt
a voice
speaks louder
