Words
i hold onto every word you say
when it rolls of your tongue
and slips past your lips
every one.
the sweet words that sink into my heart,
and the sour words that pierce it.
and when your words embrace me
it’s warm
like a summer breeze.
they seep through my skin
and they tingle at my fingertips.
and when your words sweep me off my feet,
it’s graceful.
but when i breathe-in all of your words,
and try to reply
...i choke.
i feel my words gathering in my throat
and my lungs.
i feel lightheaded
and the words stumble out of my mouth
by force.
and i wonder how your words come so easily to you
they flow like water,
and mine are heavy-like honey.
and i feel embarrassed
for failing to speak three simple words
that could ruin or save me.
but they stay locked in my heart
beating against the door
to be let out.
but i just swallow them down
and Smile.
