My words are dying they lie lifeless Upon my tongue, A heavy weight jars my Jaw open, Nouns, Consonants, Letters & words leave a Decomposing taste in my mouth, My throat is slowly Clogged, From the dead words slipping Down my throat Suffocating. Drowning. Silence. As the words clog out the sound They once flew with wings upon The air, heard no more My words have died They lie dead on my breath No longer heard with sound

Words Die In My Mouth
My words are dying they lie lifeless Upon my tongue, A heavy weight jars my Jaw open, Nouns, Consonants, Letters & words leave a Decomposing taste in my mouth, My throat is slowly Clogged, From the dead words slipping Down my throat Suffocating. Drowning. Silence. As the words clog out the sound They once flew with wings upon The air, heard no more My words have died They lie dead on my breath No longer heard with sound
