Unspoken Words

A battle between the head and the soul

Words spoken can not be unsaid
Words written cannot be unread
These words, unable to die yet unable to live
And I unable to take and unable to give

Away in my mind they come out in dreams
In cryptic images that mean more than they seem
Locked in my prison, but disguised as a guest
Smile as if whole, but the hole is in my chest

I hide them away, but treasure the thought
Either release and explode, or hold in and let rot
I'm killing these words by suffocating the seed
Maybe time, time, yes time is all that I need

I fear I am weak but I want to give in
I've closed the door but it's hollow and thin
These words, these words need to be free
But If I let them out I fear ill no longer be me

Keep them in my thoughts where they cannot do harm.
Silence them
Change them
Stop
