Poetry from the Teenage NERD.
Part 14

I'd rather feel you
put the knife
in my back,
then feel
this emptiness inside,
threatening to consume me,
and make me numb.

Ribbons entwined
across the page.
Crisscrossing paths
never seen before.
Leading the unwary
to the dark placed
of their minds,
and the quiet places
in their souls.

If actions speak
louder than words,
then I'm yelling
at you from across the room.
You know what it is,
if you can remember.
