I wish my words were
Silent so
You would hear
Nothing but
An ache—
The cracking of
My foundation—
The honor in
My love
I wish my heart were
Broken so
I would have
Nothing more
To give—
I would move
Beyond this
Guilt and
Wash away
The mistake
I wish you would
Talk to me and
Let us forgive
Because there is
Nothing more
For me to
Say then—
I am sorry for this pain
