These Words

These words
Are such a limp expression
Of the rage
You’ve evoked
Within me

You cannot fathom
The pain I could induce
Were I to yield
The full weight of my mind
Upon the sole task
Of destroying yours

What Truth

What truth
Do you hope to find
Scrying into oblivion?

This moment
Holds more depth
Than yesterday’s silence

To search
Is to destroy
