Three Words
three words not spoken
dance lightly on the tip of tongue
swirling around inside of your mouth
gnashing teeth that won't let them out
pressing hard against pursed lips
exhausted from the fight to be set free
swallowed once more down your throat
washed down with a grain of truth
three words not spoken
