I Wish I Could Say

There's so much that goes unsaid. Years and minutes, truths untold.
Said with the eyes, and thumbs that graze buttons but never type.
Hearts that ache, lips that sigh. Secrets held tight within the soul.
Hands clenched tight, bated breaths which linger.
My tongue halts behind the gates of closed teeth,
Wishing for the wants and truths to be seen.
Instead, I move forward, feelings behind closed screens.

Jekyll and Hyde

Your words,

Cut just like a knife.

I don’t know what to do.

It’s like I’m being gutted out alive.

Chorus:

What you say,

Does more damage than a bruise.

It’s emotional and mental abuse.

I want to hide away,

But it haunts me like a ghost.

You say yes, then no

I’m confused of where to go.

Make me feel alone.

Want me to depend on you.

Chorus

For every positive, there’s a negative.

Enunciate the syllables

You know that the clearer it’s stated,

The longer it takes for time to heal.

Chorus

There’s no running without falling.

So I ask God

To save me with His grace.

I’m going to survive.

Goodbye, Jekyll and Hyde.
