For you,
I tied my tongue into a knot.
Spoke words you deemed as soft.
For you,
I clenched my Jaw shut.
Filted out the anger in my voice and acted right.
But the truth is...
The sweetest melody from my mouth felt like daggers in your ears.
My softest breath landed heavy on your chest.
Darling, I didn't stand a chance.
You were never going to stay.
