probably unfinished

by @roo

Words will betray your mouth, gather clumsily behind your lower lip before walking away, stumbling on a flat surface. Words will betray your mouth, your tongue will trip as it attempts to curl around many syllables and shapes that are hard to form. Words will betray your mouth, teeth chattering in anxious continuum, individuality being sworn away Words will betray your mouth, even when your thoughts are the burning lava at the mount of the volcano come to known as your throat. Words will betray your mouth when you are not using it to convey them. Mindless scatterings of useless words pushed together into a form or a silent mouth opening and closing around another.
