You chew up my words,
swallow them aggressively...
Never seen myself to
be swapped with a lady...
My lips;
the taste of strawberries...
While the heart breaks
Unspoken words flood within...
I gazed upon the sky
with a question in my mind's eye...
Suffocation as if buried alive,
weight of loneliness baring down...
Held down by invisible ropes,
The pain too much to bare...
I can hear them again
Him yelling at her...
She sits there;
Arms around herself...
Sticks and stones may break your bones
but words will never hurt...
As I play my guitar
In sorrow and heartbreak...
Hide-and-seek hearts
have a mind of their own...
