Hear my voice
Take this song and let it
Pierce your ears
Take this song and make it
Ring true
Let it
Move you

Open your eyes
And see the sick
Open your ears
And hear the tick
Open your heart
And feel the *****
Inhale the fragrance
Of my gushing
Rushing through
To a conclusion
Pinning you
To the wall
Hear my words
As they fall

Make them say
All I want to say
Sculpting subtle nuance
Like clay
Molding and shaping
And taking away
Removing large swaths
For fear I’ll say
What I really want to say

For fear of spilling
My innermost
Tangled thoughts
For fear of killing
The shoulds and oughts
And blurting truths
Of pain
And fiery fumbling frames
And breathing it out
In a whisper
Into your callow brain
