How can I have a way with words and yet still stutter at the thought of your voice
When did loving you and feeling nothing morph together
Where is a place where I hear you say you love me but hear no noise
I remember all the things you said you wanted.
I remember all the things I didn’t feel and all the marks I left on myself
That have left you haunted
But you are my peace when I can’t hold myself up
My legs when I can no longer walk
My voice when I can no longer speak
You are you my lungs when I can’t breath
Tonight I am cold and the only thing that can warm me up, are your arms
Tonight I am insecure and the only thing that can fix it is your presence
Tonight I am feeling too much and the only thing that can fix it is your words
Tonight I am lonely and the only thing that can fix it is your soul
Tonight I am sad, and the only thing that can fix it is you.
I love you but,
If words could harm others,
Then the three words
I love you
would be murderers.
