Tongue-Tied
Words stuck fast
A need to speak
But not for a want
Its silence I seek
Afraid to speak
For what comes next
Just in case
Its too little in text
Some things are worth it
And others are not
It just depends
On that tongue-tying knot
We don't know
What our words will bring
But if I'd bring joy
I'd surely sing
But my mind speaks out
At words almost spoken
And in those seconds
A future is broken
A need to speak
But not for a want
Its silence I seek
Afraid to speak
For what comes next
Just in case
Its too little in text
Some things are worth it
And others are not
It just depends
On that tongue-tying knot
We don't know
What our words will bring
But if I'd bring joy
I'd surely sing
But my mind speaks out
At words almost spoken
And in those seconds
A future is broken
