wordless

i have a curse
a silver tongue
i used to enjoy it
i knew exactly what to say
people enjoyed me
talking and laughing
but over the years
it rusted black
once kind words
now words like blades
i used to talk a lot
but now i refuse to
all it does is hurt
not just me
but those around me
i may bleed from the mouth
but their tears hurt me even more
to watch them crying
the pain it brings to me
i couldn't take it anymore
i cut my own tongue out
made sure i couldn't talk again
now all i have is silence
i am a man of no words
because i already said enough...
