speechless
choking on words
I've never wanted to say
more
they scream in my head
impossible to think
I wish i could just
spit
them
out
but they taste so good
even just the thought
-
but then again
rejection
looms in the corner
of the room
where you hold me
can you see it too?
-
my lips hold tight
my eyes try
but it just isn't the same
it's painful
electric pulses under my skin
whisper in the darkness
-
when
at last
you pressed your lips to mine
drew out the words
pulled out the pain
a sigh of relief
-
I tremble
rejection steps closer
but your words pierce it
you said it
unlock my lips
so I can reply
I love you too
