we chewed words
but it seems only I swallowed
and swallowed and
swallowed
until
the bitterness overfilled
and back they spewed

taken aback by the force
with which they were
expelled
you avoided the stream
by way of a quick

exit

apologies in advance for the hue of this one

You have nothing here to apologize for.  Speaking truth from the heart is what poetry is all about.  It's not always a pleasant purging, but certainly not something to condemn.

When you can purge the dark,
pearls will follow...

Raw, one can only take so much......
Good strong spew.
Glad you got that off your chest.

You've taken the concept of having had all you can swallow to the next step - and done so with powerful emotions and vivid visuals! *S*

I'm sorry they exited before reaping what they'd sown. Some harvests are well deserved. *G*

(((HUGS)))
