you are not allowed to touch this
until you make your words bleed.

i want to feel them
-forceful & gut-wrenching-
i want them to sound as though
your body is exploding with each
syllable like tiny bombs and i
want to feel the debris
-sharp & smoldering-
slicing into every part of my body
burning me up alive with
their intensity.
so
if you ever feel the need
to tell me you are sorry
you must make your words bleed
in order to get through to me
to reach me
to prove to me.

to even begin to touch this.
