May 2016
Its quite and its dark and its cold here
And I'm so afraid
I'm afraid I can't make you happy
The way you make me happy
And I keep getting stuck in the silence
Wanting to say that one thing
That one thing that can either build a kingdom
Or wreck one apart
You've done nothing but paint a smile on my face
You've made my dreadful boring days
Beautiful and rich
And I don't know how to repay your kindness
For shining your light into my dark life
I know you didn't do any of these things intentionally
I know you never expected this to happen
Neither did I
And now here I am dying to tell you what you already know
The words that my heart sings
The words that echo in my soul
Their burning in my gut
Their making my throat bleed
And their scaring me
Because I'm afraid I'm going to die if I say them
And Im afraid I'm going to die if I don't say them
But most of all I'm afraid if I do say them
They won't make you happy
And what good are they if they don't make you happy
But I just need to say them at least this one time


*I

  Love


    You...
