Clenching its root deep inside my throat
Gulping down my anger
The acrid scent of resentment
Keeps you tamed for years and years
Feeding you / Drowning you
An uncured cavity I can’t seem to fill
So acute, so sharp, you won’t let me faint
Abusing me, over and over
A loose tooth in a decaying jaw
Feeding you / Drowning you / in a sea of bitter
I could keep you idle for years
Take you out / Wrest you
Pour the blood / you took away from me
Liberate / Obliterate
