With bruises on her ego,
and band aids on her knees.
with all those empty words she'd said,
she couldn't let them be.
she wished to swallow back
her judgements.
and **** all of her tears.
because the one person
that would witness this,
will be the one that she most fears.
the one she barfed emotions onto,
the one she broke down mindlessly,
this will be the only one
to see what can't be seen.

simple words that come out like a scream.
thoughts that fill the air like steam.
complements turn into complaints.
lovely words fall out as hate.

i never meant those words of late.
my puzzled mind calls out to wait!
but my lips continue to convulse and thwart.
causing my kindest thoughts to distort.

they burst out as the worst of lies
decaying what you know is right.
i promise you, the truth reaches my eyes
but every word becomes a blight.

why cant i just say what's right?
i wish my words would loose their bite.
