Swollen

Every time, you
Open your mouth, you
Damage the muscle that, you
Swore you’d protect.
Many times, I
Tried to hide the lies, and I
Cause that muscle to hurt me, and I
Cannot protect you.
Too few times, we
Feel just right, so we
Hold each other tight, and we
Never let go of the dream that was us, and defined us.
