Words (Sonnet)

The words I try to keep inside haunt me

For with every letter pain spills from my heart

But with every scolding thought I still plea

With these words, I say I can never be apart

My throat clenches as I refrain

The soft air burning my chest as I go

I wish to keep going the way I came

I prepare as you load your ammo

The gun shot fired and my hearts a mess

The organ most controlled ripped to shreds

And every problem I try to address

Is torn apart by the shake of heads

But still I try to speak and show my words

And they disappear in musical thirds
