Unzipped Lips

Meet me at the same place Just for one last time There's nothing left to lose now For you were never mine I tried to speak the words I was to terrified to say Seems I was right to fear You've already turned away You knew that I'd be angry Disallowed me to react Responding to the fiction Without hearing the fact And if I really know you I know when you chose to walk You left a space wide open To encourage me to talk So I spoke the words I promised That would never never my mouth Because I believe that closure Shouldn't hold a trace of doubt I wanted you to know that Every 'Love Ya' that I wrote Was just some smoke and mirrors For the real words gripped my throat But now there's no prevention The worst already walked through I'm not afraid to tell you now I think I've always loved you.

Jodie! What IS it about your writing that makes me unable to walk away from it? I have no analytical answer to that question, but I know your stuff pretty much always gets under my skin one way or another... thanks so much for sponsoring my 'test and write ON! Namaste ~N
