every time
someone mentions
l o v e,
my mouth gets bloody
with your name.
they say my eyes lighten
up,
but only i can
hear the loud banging
in my head,
feel my hands
losing control and
finding their way to where
the bracelet
should have been.
but
it isn't.
every time someone mentions
love,
my mouth gets bloody with
your name.
and i,
i gulp it down
painfully.
