Desire

Please talk to me
Wash these worries away
Let my wavering soul escape
and be soothed by your voice
I promise I'll listen here,
Quietly
So I could at least wear a smile
just for a little while.

Please tell me your story
Anything to bemuse me
for my voice is locked
Somewhere beneath
the silence I declared.

Please don't ask
so i won't have to
say anything
I have no more right to
I'll just keep quiet
Muted
My heart shut for you.
