I can’t say it. <br />Those three words you long for. <br />Don’t make me. <br />If I say it, the bond will hurt worse <br />when it’s broken. <br />The things you love...are ephemeral... <br />at best, indefinite <br />it burns, your love, <br />it makes me sweat salty tears <br />My voice cannot rise, for it is choked. <br />My lips are unable to part. <br />My tongue is sluggish, refusing to form the sounds. <br />But when words fail... <br />When the music fades... <br />You’ll look into my eyes and know... <br />that I love you.<br /><br />Paige Nielsen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bound-and-gagged-by-my-own-insecurities/
