Loud and Clear

The words are always

stuck

In my throat

In my heart

My tears block their way

I can’t make them

heard.

They never sound the way

they’re supposed

to.

The sentiment seems smothered

in

my

frustration.

I hope you hear them

they way you

should.

I hope the meaning

is loud and clear.

What I always want to say

to you

gets lost among the sinews of my

heart.

My lips that smother you with

kisses

Can’t quite form the sounds they

should.

I hope you hear the message

Maybe

you could tell me

one day

What it is I want to

Hear.
