Love Poem: Peremptory

Peremptory

Sewn lips 
That’s my best stitch
You don’t seem to have any limits
Must be nice to have no off switch

How do I keep ending up
Silencing my roar
Can’t seem to stop myself
From always shutting my windows and doors

Somehow I’m stronger on my own
My spirit got brittle 
My fire was stifled 
When I opened my soul to yours

Catch my eyes 
Mostly penetrating the floor
Lost my confidence 
And more 

The insecurity demons
They eat me 
Feast on my uncertainty
Questioning everything I do 

Swallow vials of razors
Sit on my hands 
Better off motionless
Easier to please the appraiser
