Speak
I spoke today
In barely a whisper
Just enough
To take the edge off the pain
That caters to laughter
A plagiarized smile
That beckons my eyes
To lie
What do I do
When all of these words
Are gladiators inside of me?
A listless dance
Followed by war drums
Painting my face
With your eyes
All I want
Is your breath within me
The warmth of your shadow
Because I may have forgotten
How to rise the sun
Or maybe
I've declined
The offer
(To remember how)
I spoke today
In barely a whisper
And you asked me
Why
I was screaming
