The nail of my thumb brushes a scab, The raw skin stinging. My fingers clench, nails imbedding themselves in my palms. Was chewing the side of my cheek. Could taste the metalic in my spit. Could clearly hear my thoughts. Or what I thought where my thoughts. Couldn’t tell them between. Murmur and word, Couldn't Lower my voice To a point Where she wouldn't flinch When only my lips would tremble. Wanted to take back what she didn’t know.

Can't I forget you now?
The nail of my thumb brushes a scab, The raw skin stinging. My fingers clench, nails imbedding themselves in my palms. Was chewing the side of my cheek. Could taste the metalic in my spit. Could clearly hear my thoughts. Or what I thought where my thoughts. Couldn’t tell them between. Murmur and word, Couldn't Lower my voice To a point Where she wouldn't flinch When only my lips would tremble. Wanted to take back what she didn’t know.
