They tell you sticks and stones or words split you open at the seam. C through bone pulling your chest to say it back.

walking. Stop hiding behind. Silence when I'm right here bleeding out in front of you. Drop the armor when it's just us. You could have anyone,
but your eyes stay tuned across the room. Once you realize we were breathing the same air once you knew we were tangled in the same moment. Tell me now, pull me out of here before
I dissolve completely. I see you holding back, swallowing wounds like poison. Afraid they'll burn on the way up. But I'm already on fire, already consumed.
