Please don't stop speaking.
Please don't ever stop.
Though I refuse your eye contact
And look away,
Believe me when I tell you
That I hear every word.
I love every word.
You could speak of nothing at all,
Ignoring that talk of death I'm so fond of
And still I'd want you next to me
Speaking in that voice
That makes you sound like you're terrified.
Please don't ever stop.
Even as I look up at you
Through eyelashes and half closed lids
Weeping like death just walked in,
Please don't ever stop speaking,
Confused as you may be.
