You have a silver tongue. Your words are elegant and your delivery admirable. Your words could part seas and light the sky. They could make an army of disbelievers stand on their feet And praise you, worship you. You are that powerful.
But as silver as your tongue is it is just as sharp. Your words brush against my skin and cause happiness But in another moment despair. They send knives through my skin and force an apology from me As I clean up the blood.
Your words make me question how I could be so lucky Yet so unlucky at the same time Because in the right moment your words are a smooth melody That wraps around me and makes me feel at home. But in the next my ears drown in dissonance.
I cannot pretend that your words don't bruise me But I also cannot leave Because you have entranced me With your silver tongue.
