Love: Stuttering Love

You're way mmmore fun than bubble wrap,
I wwwish that you were here,
I really wwwwish I could talk with you,
And my voice would sound all clear,

You see, each t- each time I look at you,
Your smile lights up the room,
And I want to say how you make me feel,
Like a rrrose that's in full bloom,

But, my words, they n-never come out right,
My wwwwwords all come out wrong,
My mmmouth and tongue twist them all around,
Till they're not where they belong,

So I sit and think full words in my mmmind,
The words s-stuck in my throat,
The words I wish I c-c-could say to you,
The words- "I love you the most."

Very creative. This reminds of an old blues song entitled "I Get Nervous" by the great Willie Dixon. He too used stuttering as a writing tool. Thanks for sharing............peace!
