work in progress.

[curvigrrl]

I'd love to think that
well thought explanations
sound better than awkward silence

I'd like to think that
you'd find importance
in anything I have to say

But the look on your face
and the tone of your voice
make it clear I'm little more than a nuisance

Not sure if this could last forever
But I sure don't want to be alone

Tear out my tongue and set me free
from the responsibility
of choosing words and phrases worth your time
Sew my mouth shut to save me from
embarrassment that's sure to come
and ruin my one chance to make you mine.

I hope you think
my loquaciousness
is a sign of intellect.

I hoped you'd think
my brilliant mind
was something to be prized.

But the less I say
and the softer I speak
the more valuable I seem to become.

Not sure how long I can keep this up
before I get torn to shreds.

Tear out my tongue and set me free
from the responsibility
of choosing words and phrases worth your time
Sew my mouth shut to save me from
embarrassment that's sure to come
and ruin my one chance to make you mine.

Wish you could love me as I am
and listen as I do you
wish you'd think the world of me
as I think the world of you

Tear out my tongue and set me free
from the responsibility
of choosing words and phrases worth your time
Sew my mouth shut to save me from
embarrassment that's sure to come
and ruin my one chance to make you mine.
