two stupid little ******* clumsy words.
they fall, and oh!
how they fall,
onto the empty space between us
like thick syrup.
the words come out of my mouth,
dumbly and slowly.
and yet
they make no sound to you,
and only sit imploringly,
begging to be noticed.
they make no difference.
It would've been much better for me to stay silent.
