Words

You tell me how you met this new man,

I’m disappointed that it can’t be me.

You show me the note he left you,

And ask what I think it could mean.

There’s no way that I should tell you,

I don’t care what it means or says.

I only wish it could’ve been my words,

To put that smile on your face instead.

You tell me how he kisses you too hard,

I wonder how you can share that with

Me.

And I wonder if it would still be so easy,

If you knew how I thought it could be.

You and I, I can only imagine,

Due to potential for pain on both sides

But for now I treasure the secrets,

And the look that I see in your eyes.

Words

I want to whisper

Words

I sometimes fear

Words.
