you say I say I'm sorry too much but I swear the words aren't meaningless even if I say them so very often and now I can only choke and sound like so much dust in the air, smoke meaningless and weightless a fire's ghost a catch in my throat words caught, trapped rendering me mute you say you know I would never betray you for what it's worth but the doubt clogs your every thought if it's been too long since we last talked the words have no weight valueless as a handful of dry leaves faerie gold fleeting, forgotten dissipated as soon as they are spoken I don't mean to hurt you I never meant to show you how much you hurt me for what it's worth I try to keep you safe you say you see my shield coming up, guarding my heart from the words' serrated edges and your barbed points you say it, but you don't lower the lance impaled again on the brutal judgement the bleak mistrust in your voice in your eyes for what it's worth I am sorry again |
