Those three words
Are still stuck
On my throat,
Trying to crawl
Its way out.

Those three words
Makes it harder
For me to breathe;
Choking on my
Every word that
I wish to say to you.

Those three words
Began in my heart,
Then made its way up,
Coughing out my love.

Now those three words
Are eating me up inside;
Feeding off the battered up
Remains like a stray dog
Searching for leftovers.

I should have known better
That those three words
Would swallow me up
And slowly **** me inside

All because I chose
To keep them safe;
Far away from lies.*
