i bleed the blood from my heart

blood seeps out, it's taste is my reminder
if the words i wish to speak are not that of kind heart
despite that they are truth,
i mustn't speak them at all.
it's a hard thing to do
to keep the truth to myself
when truth must be let out.
so i bite my tongue
and let it bleed
for the truth is my enemy
for the words i have are not of kind heart
and lies would be twice the damage

so i bite down hard with my teeth on my tongue and i bite till i bleed and bleed till i stop thinking the thoughts formed by the heart where kind thoughts
can not be made
