Walking on eggshells
afraid to slip
or make a wrong move
as this is when chaos will reign
and the explosion breaks out.

Like a heavy thunderstorm
your words fall
crashing down around me,
and making me feel as though there's no shelter from the storm
that you have created.

You're like a monster
that cannot be contained
your words are like venom,
trickling slowly,
painfully,
into the center of my heart.

Burning away as it bubbles inside,
and then creating a wall
which means I don't hear you
or feel
the poison that you project.

I'm sheltered here
away from the storm
yet the loneliness kills me
and the strength that is needed
to pretend that I don't care
brings me into a tunnel of darkness
of which there is no escape.
