Words circulate these veins.
I bleed from the mouth
With each cut to my senses.
My hand breathes the air
that turns our touch to red.
Speak no more she said.
The translation burns with
Every beat of my heart
Causing these eyes to cry songs,
Reaching till my skin
Has something to say.
Speak no more she said.
Drag me by the soul
Till change falls like rain
And fills my lungs, but
Hold my tongue because
Scars can't move on.
Speak no more she said.
Drown every inch of me
In conversations I've never bared,
Then be the sun that evaporates
My living sentence.
Let's read these clouds away.
