“This is why it hurts the way it hurts. You have too many words in your head. There are too many ways to describe the way you feel. You will never have the luxury of a dull ache. You must suffer through the intricacy of feeling too much.”

don’t you understand you can’t hear them?
i’m sorry that
you can’t hear the screams
but i can assure you they’re there
a constant bulge in the throat
that suffocates the heart
and slaughters
the mind
