Tongue Tied
written by: James Yesley
She is never where I want to find her.
Always out of reach.
Plaguing my mind when I’m awake.
The now bitter taste, was once so sweet.
Forgotten love.
The angel and the devil on one shoulder share a drink with the “chip” on the other.
I can’t even have a taste.
Some things aren’t meant for you.
This world, this life, knows this.
How can I tell her that I’m Happy?
That my life has been going great?
That I found someone who treats me like she refused to…
But I still hurt every second of every day. Because I can’t stop thinking about her.
I don’t think I’m brave enough to ask for this kind of pain ever again…
