A Spoken Word

With every word that comes out of my mouth There is a string attached at the end With the word "regret" With every word that passes through my mind It longs to be brought out With every word that passes through my ears Goes right through my mouth To someone else. Always to the wrong person Sometimes my mouth speaks Before my mind processes Sometimes I choke on my words Suffocating myself As my mind is screaming at my mouth to stop With every word that longs to be spoken I'll add a new stitch to my mouth And pull it a little tighter So no harm can come from my words again
