Oh words that have been left unspoken,
Why must you carry so much weight?
Why can't you string yourselves together
And annunciate or communicate?
The words held in check I do not follow
Wondering about throughout my mind.
But now and again reemerging to remind
Myself what not to say.
Speaking my mind is not an option
The words would be uncontrolled
And my tongue would begin to fold
At the bitter taste of the words that should be left untold.
