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."

Words like Stones, like Saline, like Sadness
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."
My struggle with loving with depression and anxiety
