Maybe you can start by
Pushing the volume down and
Listen to the sound of
The voice in your heart
That sheds your tears
Maybe you can hear why
You see me mope and cry
Because I’m sorry for my silence
Long and loud
It’s just that when I see you
It’s like there’s a bomb in my mouth
So big I start to gag inside
And if I say a word
It’ll ignite
And burn both you and me
And the bomb says your name “” “”
Dear husband of mine
Could you would you maybe please
Dewire this burden and bring us ease
With your soft hands
And your sweet voice
Scan your eyes into mine
Because it’s been programmed into mine
Would you kiss my lips
And take your time
Delicately unwire this sensitive set
Of coils that are clogging my throat
Say nice things
Touch me in ways
That make us both feel divine?
Or maybe I can swallow it with pain
And one day, when the sky cries and makes it rain
It will explode inside me
Taking me up to the sad heavens
Through all the rain and all the gray
I’ll be Forever and ever gone away
And you can finally forget me
A burden to you
And keep listening to the volume up high
Because the sound will never bother me
It’ll never reach me
Up high in the sky
And you can be relieved
As we will both be in peace
And released
From our differences
