Please don't speak.
don't let them escape.
Its for you to keep.

I asked you not to fall.
I see it in your eyes.
why do you wish to throw this curve ball?

Oxygen fills your lungs
biting your lip in hesitation.
they burn my soul as they roll off your tongue.

Three words.
I love you
I must have misheard

Alas I did not,
you broke your promise.
my heart in a tight knot

I feel obliged to reply.
the poison leaks from my mouth.
I feel like I'm going to **cry.
