The Words I Speak

HER

When her words spark an interest that is so divine

When she talks she sounds like an angel's shine

For when she speaks the whole world goes quiet

As if everything in this life is made to be on the sideline
.
.
.
.
.
She hides herself behind her pen and paper

To write down her poems in a letter

In bewilderment, she looks out her window

I stay silent as the ink cuts like a sabre
.
.
.
.
.
Her words like venomous snakes that slither

Into my trembling heart making me quiver

In love and shame, a place where fear resides

But what she says causes all of me to shiver
.
.
.
.
.
Escape her piercing gaze and turn the other way

Let the water take everything and I'll stand on the bay

She washes me with emotions without her I can't feel

Empty and hollow but with her I royally wish to stay
