There's a violence on the tip of my tongue

There’s a violence on the tip of my tongue:
it smells of the acidic silence

that leaves me shaking 
when your 
voice has decided it is done
filling me with music;

it tastes of the vulgar bitterness

which I feel towards

       the air that moves
                         all around you
because it gets to touch
   every             part                 of you
at all times;


and I don’t even know how to
address the way it 

sounds

because
it sounds exactly like every word
that I am way too afraid to say
because


I am afraid of what
you will say back.
