Too scared to speak

My mouth won't move

Clamped shut by ego and fear

Held frozen

Held tight

Eyes sewn shut

Afraid to see

Too frightened to view what's within

Deaf and dumb

Blind and mute

I want to scream

A super-sonic sound

I want to hurt you

Decapitate you, rip you apart

Leave you lifeless and bleeding

Much like you left me

I opened my soul

You reached inside

Twisted and torn

Drops fall, hot and wet

I crawl inside my embryonic cell

Wait within the dark

Wanting to be touched

Wanting you

Instead I lay in quiet repose

To bare my teeth and show my claws

Go ahead and touch me
