Safe from the Sound

There are things that I 

should say to you

that you should never 

have to know.

They could slip out

in my sleep

and slither into

your subconscious.

They could crawl inside

your beating heart

and wrap it up

warm and tight.

They could offer hands

you'll never hold.

They could tell you truths

best left untold.

So, I'll bite my tongue 

or choke on my breath

to keep your ears

safe from the sound.
