this is my first Rv Poem so dont be downin it to much..

Words...

lose value at my lips

in my mind
I've painted the perfect portrait

and at the expense of broken silence
it becomes not worth it at times
silence cushions the elbow in my side
that urges the utterance of truth

How do I say This?

I've done more damage than healing
the band-aids have worn and the wounds still ache
yes. the bleeding has stopped
but
my hands are hard, I'm clumsy, and I bite my nails
does this look like a heart-haven for you?

Don't make me hold it
I'm afraid of dropping it at my feet
and not being able remove the stain from my soul

How do I say This?

softly...
I love you. enough to hurt you
so the callous that forms will protect you
if truth and lies hurts, I'll give you both
with that, know this at your own discretion

How do I say This?

yes. I love you.
