Say the word
A gentle scream unleashed in the roaring silence of the night
A gasping sound echoing into a blood
drenched hollow oak
Eyes open engulfing pictograms of crimson
light consuming light
An eerie blinding bursting light
Draws the words left unspoken
Say that word
The one that burns in my cold lips
And tears your heart into shatters
Say it like it matters
As if the stars would crumble into the land
Say it now
Because no one else can
Scream that word
Shout it aloud so no one can hear you
Rip it from your lungs into the saturated
air
Say it like you mean it
Like you really care
Say it
If you dare
Say it again and again
And again
That jaded feeling of forgiveness
And sorrow
Softly breathe it
Into my weary mouth
Say that you love me
Maybe if you mean it
Somehow
Amidst the chaos
And run-arounds
I’ll live again
But
It really doesn’t matter anyhow
Say that word
Say goodbye
Say it like you mean it
For this time
You will not be saying a lie
