Words In Your Mouth

Speak gently,
Sweet angel,
Lace your words with poison
If poison is in your heart,
But let your hand not falter
As you administer lethal dose
To the words I drink in
Love will cover all
For it is blind,
Deaf,
And immune to what you may say
In attempt to break hearts
(I feel I need more than one
To hold all my feeling for you).
Swill your unvoiced darts
Before speaking them
And let them not be sugar coated.
But oh! how I wish
That these words might
One day
Hold love.
Though I not be immune to feeling
I would welcome a faint trace
Of any word I may call love,
Though it may be more deadly than poison.

Immunity takes more exposure
Than you or I have yet seen.
A heart is a terrible thing to waste.
