HIDE

I see why you hide your voice, Some words are too heavy to hold up after it leaves the tongue. Even air so thick hasn't lifted enough weights. So sentences get sliced just as the mind gets the courage. It would do more damage. To know all that goes on in the mental. That's why they lock those away. That dare to voice the sounds that don't even seem to make sense. That's why flies don't live too long. Why swats fly while doors get flown off of the hinges. And why anything you say will be used against you. You talk so low that a bat has to get close to hear.  That prophets can't predict. I see why you hide your voice. Show me your ways. So we can both protect our hearts from bleeding out. After being penetrated by words that could have been tucked away. Like childhood stories that still causes goosebumps. And games that left wonder. Let's keep them hidden,  Only to expose them when vulnerability creeps in while we're fighting to keep afloat. Taking turns on each other's arms, So we can both survive whatever tragedies unlike Rose and Jack. I know why you hide your voice. To save me from myself. The same me that felt the need to write this poem. In my own head while trying to penetrate yours. But you're the man. I won't try to do your job. As long as you allow me to be the woman. To pour out my emotions, like the water in your glass at night. Let me be me and for you I'll do the same. If you allow me to be free,  Then maybe I'd be ok with your hiding.
