I take it back


"I love you"

 

I screamed, I roared, I whispered

 

. . .

 

the sentence hangs in the air

 

polluting the silence

 

i wish to shove the words back into my mouth

 

to seal the foul thing shut 

 

i wish to take the words from the air and crush the hope ans sorrow held in its cradle

 

you wont reply

 

your silence is reseved for somone other

 

this kind

 

is the kind that echoes loud in the hollow of your ears

 

every second excruciating

 

i take it back

 

i take it all back -cc.
