Open Your Ears

The words are all caught in my throat

But I’m glad you didn’t catch them

In your eyes I’m your crazy friend

In mine you’re the one I’ll love forever

You grab my arm to guide me someplace

My mind’s eye: I’m grabbing fistfuls of your hair

Pulling your face inches from my mouth

Tasting your lips for the first time

It breaks my heart to hear you speak

Of how you can’t make yourself feel

I’m feeling enough for both of us

If only you would let me

But for now I’m the only one

Who hears the screams echoing inside my head

I’d scream them all to you

If only you would let yourself hear
