it is fear swimming up my esophagus I doubt the undoubtable and question the reputable a dusty black trunk locked and untouched stores away the words we said we'd never say I rattle the locks, tug on the lid I kick the corner and circle it thoughtfully but the opening I think I feel is nowhere to be found no crack, no leak, no betrayal until the truth dawns on me that I'm not looking for escaped words I'm looking for you and you've locked yourself within and the fear choking me is not mine but your own.
