More Than You Believe


If my words could heal

Everything that hurts you

I would write forever

And speak

Even longer

 

My tongue would know my teeth

Quite intimately

And my hands would know the paper

Quite painfully

 

I would rub my fingers raw

And bite my tongue endlessly

If it meant you would be 

Happy

 

Because you matter

More than my hands

More than my tongue

And infinitely more

Than you believe
