One Word

Sat, 10/12/2013 - 21:13 -- Tortue

If I had to describe you
Using just one word
The words my mouth formed
Would trip over my lips
So I figure it would be best
If my eyes did all the talking
Eyes can stay open without suspect
While if you stand there
Accompanied by the sound of silence
With your mouth open
You are labeled a fool
Please do not confuse my love for you
With foolishness
If i had to describe you
Using just one word
My mouth would be sealed
My eyes would be shut
I would reach for your hand
And place it on my heart
Praying that you would recognize
The language of my heartbeat
