Fester

Grudges are burdensome

festering things

The longer we hold them 

The harder to breath 

Laced with secrets, 

We'll take them with death

Seeping from corners-

a toxic distress 

We gasp and we sputter

as it rots at our soul

But when we are asked

there's not a thing to be told

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
