i wanted to tell you that i love you,
but my voice ran away
and my thoughts were too loud.
i wanted to tell you i miss you,
but the dryness in my throat clamped my mouth shut
and my eyes burned with memories of tattered promises.
i wanted to tell you nothing at all,
so i screamed at my fears
and wept forgotten pop songs.
