If I wanted to scream
     would smother me
with love.

If I wanted to scream
     would you carve my
           worries from me.

If I wanted to speak
     vacant words, would
                    you sew my mouth shut.

If I wanted you to be
     silent.. a pillow of feathers
                  now drowns life slowly out..

If I wanted....
    if I wanted....
       if I read this to you would you run.....
