keep it to myself
or whisper it a shout
through my fingertips
into your open mouth
I’m silent and clamoring
hammering
bending with the doubts
your frequencies hurt
I can’t pour into you anymore
my bullseye ears
and open heart
your voice is closing in
in this small space
I can’t look at your eyes
I can’t look in your face
I can’t get out
but I can go in
I can’t get out
but I can go in
I can’t get out
but I can go in
