Hushed tones
And harmful words
Can be the most toxic poison
It is inopportune to meet someone
Who has learned to use this to their
Advantage.
Muted voices
Tiny bickering.
Do we not see each other?
It’s a habit
Suffer through.
Learn to deal.
Keep yourself busy
Forget to heal.
Pretend the wound isn’t there
Pretend you’re not the one thrusting it
Her back.
If she doesn’t see you do it,
She doesn’t have evidence.
