These unspoken words are bitter seawater in my mouth
Cold and choking I cannot swallow them
They make me sick.
Yet I cannot give this burden to you
I cannot force these heavy stones into your pocket
The glimmer of light from your eyes reaches through the murk of my melancholy
How dare I consider sharing this loaded gun
This noose for two, or for one
Heavy, heavy weight
My familiar friend
How can I say these deadly words?
How can I say
"I love you."
