Pressure

Pressure

Aggressive and stubborn
Digging in the heals
Spoilt brat, grinding teeth
Screaming
My blood pressure boiling

I swallow the bile that
Comes to my mouth
Swallow the words
As you’re spitting them out

Vile, angry
Viscous and mean
You’re pushing all my buttons
I’m too restrained
It’s extreme

This depth of anger
That knows no base
Consuming completely to overwhelm
Yet I barely fracture
Never break

A little crack at the surface
A slither, a slice
Before it’s buried away
To fester for the fight
That eternally waits

But what future waits for me
If I don’t leave
Terrified of the outcome
Might I kill
May you bleed

I have to get out
Before we all come undone
I’m desperate to save you
But it cannot be done.
