The Need of my Lips

Written January 13, 1998

In a way
I'm almost sorry for
The way I did it
Why can't my tongue say
What my mind is thinking?
The words would not come
And so in desperation to say
What needed to be said I used another's mouth
To tell you
Maybe that is the reason it won't work out
Perhaps I should confront you again
This time using my own lips
To express the love I have for you
No matter how jumbled the words may sound
They will mean the same thing:
"I want to be with you forever,
And I love you."
