Words to tell my stories
Words to tell them why
Words to give names
To what flows through my underground
Words to voice the unspoken
Words to lighten shadows
Words to ease the burden
Of living trapped in my own self
Words to maim and hurt
Words to scatter caltrops
Words to chase away
The persistent reviled fears
Words to salve burns
Words to calm aches
Words to close wounds
Opened by my own blades
Words to offer myself to you
Words to impress me upon you
Words to scream your name
With all the love that belongs to it
