I Swallow The Words I Love You…

Written By Amon Elise

I swallow the words I love you,
like phlegm.
Struggling to be released,
in spams of hacks,
assisted by burst from my diaphragm.
My ribs are already spreading to prepare
but not to launch.

Instead I
strangle it back to my throat
knowing one day
I will spit it out
at your feet.

It will end up
under your shoe
like the rest of me.
Crushed.

– Amon
