Termites
Folder:
Personal- Melancholy Secrets feed on my insides
like termites gnawing
on once-sturdy wood.
They eat flesh in chunks,
spitting out my self-respect
and leaving only traces of sin.
Secrets live within colonies,
ready to swarm me when
I least expected them.
They will multiply as
long as I let them survive
and thrive on destroying me.
