When I bite my tongue
Gulping down words heavy with heart
When I hide behind faux indifference
Pulling the strings apart
When the weight of my thoughts
Leave me choking for air
I know I'm holding back
These thoughts fog up my mind
And these words clog up in my throat
When I bite my lips
Muffling sounds that call your name
When I close my eyes
Longing to hear your voice
When images of your roaming hands
Leave me breathless
I try to hold back
When I bite my nails
Counting the days till I meet you
When I see your face
Lighting up as I near you
When the warmth of your embrace
Leaves me content
I don't want to hold back.
When I bite your skin
Tracing lines instead of circles
When I sink to my knees
Swallowing the drops of doubt
When you feel the breath of certainty
On my lips
Don't hold back
