He said "I loved the way
you used to sway
when you thought you were alone
when you heard this song."
But the song is gone
and i am
left stillborn in your mouth.
"And I loved the way
you told me 'Stay'
the day I tried
to turn away,
but i've grown ill
of waiting days
of playing games
of staying still
for a fickle girl with stillborn words
that will never die."
But deep inside
i know my words will someday die
and leave me lifeless, cold, and dry
mummified
Kill myself for a pretty phrase;
missing you without
your lifeless, cold, and
kissing ways
Shriveling through
my waiting days.
Without you
the words are gone
and i am left
stillborn in your mouth.

Wow! I really like that. I hope you win something for this.
The reptition of stillborn really worked here. This reads aloud very well and just rolls off the tongue. Of all the poems I've read in this contest so far, yours is it for me, if I were judge. Best of luck.
