Marks

one mark on the outside the other lays within
you can read it in my eyes and the way my body verbalizes
but if you want to hear it, if you want my lips to speak
the whisper that is in my heart and coursing in all of me
then you will have to tell me--tell me those three words
I can feel it and I can taste it...but I won't say it first
never again will I say it first
