Ashley Abel Poet I do not know?

Bite Your Tongue

Don't say a word.
Even though you want to.
I know that was offending.
But we can't say anything.
Just do what we're used to
Bite your tongue.
You know it don't hurt much anymore.
No way it can with all the scars.
So keep it to ourself and keep moving on.
