Language Barrier

I’m screaming at the top of my lungs

But she can’t hear me.

I might as well be yelling in French or Spanish because

She just doesn’t understand me

She doesn’t get it when I tell her

I don’t know—

Je ne sais pas,

Yo no sé

The master behind my own downfall,

A slave to my eerie thoughts.

Wondering if I can break free and stand tall.

My love is a two-edged weapon, wielded by insecurity and strikes with fear. 

 

Akin to Pandora’s pithos, it remained concealed; destruction would only come of openly sharing it to the outside world. 

 

My heart is shielded, once scarred by mistrust, now a lone vessel playing a broken melody looped: 

 

Thump...thump...thump.
