it rained a lil harder today

kind words
bounce off deaf ears
inside thick heads
extended hand
cut at the wrist
no longer able
to embrace

double edge sword
a lil to the left
cut thru chambers
filled with sunshine
spilled into cavities
heating blood
rotting flesh
a lil to the right
easier to extract
wounds would of healed
eventually

instead
alcohol poured from lips into
scabs picked open
dug into holes
never knew existed
bone marrow exposed
indiscretions covered up
secrets of dishonesty
lie dormant
unless awakened

wise poet once said, "i choose to walk alone"
now i understand.
