Words

Your phrases circle my mind, the moment you uttered them etched into my brain. How could you? The affliction caused by words is no less than physical injury. Insomnia will not be my excuse for the lack of sleep tonight, for you have given me more than enough reason to lay awake counting my endless failures. My brain functions as a merry go round, complications circling the vicinity of my head. The weight of my head feels heavy upon my shoulders, emotional pain soon becomes physical pain. I have cried so much I am no longer able to shed tears, yet even without the tears clouding my vision I cannot see. It is as if I’m infatuated with rage, I am unable to let it go, anger has consumed me. I am trapped and blinded by the pursuit of revenge but the unfortunate part is that the only person I blame is me.
