sparse reflections of friendship exist
amidst the controlling, condeming thoughts,
bellow downward from the platform perch
where you've placed your feet and harrowing words,
sever thoughts and conversation
to pieces coarse enough to asphyxiate on,
lodging restricting oxygen and annihilating gray matter,
indignation turns the adrenline to high gear,
pulsating the venom,
to reflect in my hazel eyes,
repressed to demoralization of just trying to exist.
