A Muse In Me

This is what a strung together for last week's Three Word Wednesday. The words are brandish, forbid, and manage.

I make a statement punctuated
with forbidden tears
As you brandish your
laughter and mockery

I stare at your back
Your shield
Your voice trailing off
As you walk away

I ask you to stay
Maybe manage to sit next to me
So we can whisper instead of shout

You pull out
your weapon of mass destruction
Silence
