For some, the words leak out of them
For me, those three words are like acid
Burning me from the inside
Starting in my mind where they've sat for too long
To my stomach where they wait along side the butterflies
Slowly climbing to my throat where they get stuck for days on end
Maybe soon I'll be able to cool the acid by having it roll off my tongue
Washing it down with the sweet sound of similar words returned
