A Cause of Death

When you hear it, your ears become deaf to anything but the sounds that make it up those words.
You can no longer think of anything else, excluding that very thought.
It blinds you until your on the brink of seeing nothing but the very thing that blinds you.
It chokes until you can no longer utter a word and suffocates you until you can’t breath.
It crawls up your body and paralyzes you in an instant.
It stops your heart, even if it’s for a moment, it hurts.
The thing is, the truth kills.
