Biting My Tongue Again

My tongue
has no more blood; 
no tissue to slide through my teeth.

I have bitten my tongue
so long
my message deflates beneath.

LOL Sometimes we're forced to bite our tongues so we don't hurt people's feelings, but as you say, our messages are never conveyed. Well expressed in a concise manner! Love, Carolyn
