Strangle

If words of love are on your tongue
then strangle them
strangle them

if you would speak
with desperate sighs and longing eyes
then strangle them
strangle them

Let no looks of love or briny tears
breach the sacred exterior
Let no poetry or honesty
shake the image of stoicism in your lover's eye
Let no trembled lip or betraying tip
show what hurt you hide beneath

if feeling comes and asks for voice
then strangle it
strangle it

When spurning spear pierces
tenderest wounds, let nothing cry out
just strangle it
strangle it

Not sure where that's going, but I wanted to get it out.
