The Choke

Don't leave yet
It's still early and i haven't even said a word
And i'm hoping that i might upset you by saying what i want to
'cause it's not like you don't know i've fallen for you
But it's in my head and that's where you can't see it
And i thought that maybe if i had to bite the tips of my fingers i could stumble over words
And tell you just how far before i hit the ground
And i'm the type to think of all the wrong things to say
And i will shut myself up and i'll never come out-
I'll close all my doors and only show you the black spots where my eyes once were-
I can say this-
I can collect myself deep down and then come out punching
And i'll scream out loud.
