Truth or Dare

The substance of guilt and the choice of two.

Truth or Dare, exposure or risk.
The object in my chest tightend to brick,
it did nothing better than jamming and overloading my brain with everything it couldn't hold.

Truth or Dare, the thought of it clogged my mouth of a response,
and drought covered my tongue whole.

Haziness swifted throughout my sight and drowned my human core of all of its energy.
Of all its life.

Everyone knows that when it comes to decision making.. I'm not the one to battle with.
So NO Truth or Dare.
NO exposure or risk.

Just the agony of guillt that gradually spreads,
seeps, and soaks into my conscience. My insides.
To break every single bit and part of me that aches.
The decision of not making a decision that shuts off everything in me,
to leave me in dust.

To leave me with nothing.

    I can't CONTROL it.
    I suck my lips in as my heart clenches in
    every time a hot tear trickles down my face. 
    Why?
    My hurt gets so angry with me that it sets my insides on fire.
  • deep sea

    I am a glass bottle floating in the sea.
    lost.
    empty.
    but somehow I still seem to float.
    the waves convey me to the destination of nowhere.
