speak what you mean
mean what you speak
how else could i know
that you were walking
on broken eggshells
blaming me for giving you the chicken
hold back that tongue
when teeth cant bite
and remember i never said forever
it was only for one night
of course until it turned into two
and three
and we could get passed this
if you would just be front
i could back you
if i believed you
but i dont
my secrets are not lies
they are unspoken truths
lying dormant in my throat
right where that itch is
that you obviously
cant scratch
