Tongueswallower
My mind, it fills the entire room
As my heart dries out
It beats outside my chest
I bite my tongue, I grind my teeth
Your words like salt to a slug
You shed a single black tear
As you swallow me whole
I remember it well, your breath to my ear
So harrowing, so cold
My final chapter was written
But you picked up the pen
Led me astray to an unknown place
To an ivory tower, far away
Doomed to wait, doomed to die
