Lava Flow

Seething as he is breathing laboriously

Spittle forms on the outer edge of his mouth and lips

As the hateful and embittered words flow freely

From within the bowels of his gut and being.

The faucet has been turned on; the handle is broken

As the words just keep freely flowing...

Overflowing and spilling out of his mouth and onto the floor.

He tries to hold back, but its too late to stop the ghastly lava like flow

Once he has finished erupting, he feels remorse, but it is too late

The damage has now been done and the lava has turned to stone.
