• You’ve so many things to say
    I fear you’ll drown me out
    And all the time you hem and haw
    I swallow down the need to shout
    For every breath you exhale loud
    Another twitch to cut it off
    For when you ramble on, my dear
    I try only not to turn and scoff

    I did try to bridge the gap between us
    But your voice has always been too strong
    Heavy words break the foundations
    And the bridge falls, before long.
    You cannot keep on ranting, love
    Conjecturing and blowing air
    Just know if you won’t learn to listen-
    I’ll turn only to leave you there.
