word vomit

i have to let my words fall out.
vomit.

each thought is churned up and burnt in the acid of hurt
i need to vomit.

each syllable broken into sounds that are forcing their way through my esophagus, my sourness-tainted palette, and the tongue - the strongest muscle, holding them back.  but the words inside me stronger.

just let me vomit.

because if i don't,
i'll lose my words. my thoughts will get digested.
and I'll get used to losing my voice.

until i lose that too, and you.
