theres a knot in my throat
and it is your name.
it takes the words
from my mind and stuffs
them down deep inside
my soul. they creep
up from within
me, ready to explode.
but when you look at
me, they get scared
and hide in a little
knot in my throat
because you just
take those little words
along with all of
my breath, and
you make it disappear.
because nothing
i can ever say would
be enough to explain
how much you
mean to me.
