You Probably Have Athlete's Foot in Your Mouth...
Recycled bottled up emotions
Pour out like ink on paper.
I’d speak, but I refuse
To hear my voice waver.
You look down at me,
And I feel so small.
Your words weigh on me,
But I will not let myself fall.
In the morning,
Apologies will rain.
But as of tonight,
I’ll cling to this pain.
You’ll tell me they were just words;
That you were just weak.
But remember, from the heart
So shall the mouth speak.
