Poem of the Day: Tip of the Tongue
Tip
of the tongue
It
never sat will with me how one can converse,
Let
alone enter a relationship, with an individual,
Who
allowed anything but the truth jump off his tongue,
The
most powerful entity,
The
brain knows what the tongue don’t,
The
tongue says what the brain won’t,
Resonating
more pain than a hundred pistols,
Killing
more souls than missiles,
Piercing
hearts as these negative terms rips it apart,
Just
words, just words,
That’s
absurd,
No,
it’s the last thing you heard,
The
first thing you hear as you exit your mother’s uterus,
Words
mean more than pineapple upside down cake on Christmas,
More
than hearing I love you for the first time,
And
wondering if he meant it
Those
sticks, those stones that hurt your bones,
Is
the effect of the repeated usage of words that beat you down mentally,
Until
you subconsciously become that word, and beat him down physically,
A
cycle that won’t stop until you cease to allow words get to you emotionally.
