Silence bound,
The tongue slips softly in between;
Barriers of bone, to hold back,
the flow of logic from within.
Silence speaks;
With a tongue of silver,
Lined in its own creation;
irrationality.
So, bite your tongue
a little harder baby,
I don't think I felt the sting.
That soft, secure sting.
The sting of silence,
Words left justly unsaid;
Between barriers of endless bone,
that flow from logic within.
Author notes
