It has been so long since I spoke to you

I wanted to get away from words running out of my mouth and on to deaf ears. Each time the word "love" dropped from my tongue, it fell to the ground and stuck like gum. You pretended to hear me but you don't answer my calls or my words or my kisses. Allowing me to speak knowing you won't hear me freed up a bit of my heart. Silence is quite the fix for a over-eager heart.

Chapped lips

Chapped lips sink ships. Your kisses are sloppy and insincere, leaving me wet and dry. Salvaging my mouth or pride is futile. That is why (because) I love you.
