Ten times the thoughts inside.
Ten hundred feelings to hide
A thousand words to convey.
A million ways to say.
Beating at the door.
Bursting to fall on the floor.
Blinking back the tears.
Breathing through the fears.
Wanting to walk away.
Waiting for the right way.
Hanging by a single thread.
Hating to see the words shred.
Knowing the words to come.
Keeping from going numb.
Spreading slowly through and through.
Sinking at thought of disappointing you.
No other way to say it.
Nothing to hold back a bit.
Leaving me to feel so lame.
Living in my own shame.
A thousand words to convey.
A million ways to say.
About to leave the worry,
And just say,"I'm sorry".
