You took the word upon your tongue, you chewed and twisted it | Sam Scribbles

You took the word upon your tongue, you chewed and twisted it in your mouth. You tried to swallow it, tried to pass it past your throat, but you spat it out eventually.

'Love.'

It didn't feel good, it didn't feel enough. You couldn't say it, nor did you want to hear it.

What would you do with it, after all? As devoid of its supposed meaning as it was, as empty as it felt, why would you take it to your heart?

You rejected it so you could search for a better replacement.

Something that felt,
something you could believe, something that didn't stagger under your weight.

Something that could hold you, along with the stones and rocks on your back,
along with the thorns in your sides, the darkness of your wake.

Something that could hold with you, everything that hurt, and everything that mattered.
