Love
The way your tongue curls inward
Keep it safe in your heart
Somewhere no one can harm it
Scratch it
Claw at it
Pull it away
Point at it
Laugh at it
Squeeze it
Until it screams
As soundlessly as I
Floated in and out of your eyesight
While my world spun fast enough
To shatter the sound barrier
And my heart
The way your tongue curls inward
Keep it safe in your heart
Somewhere no one can harm it
Scratch it
Claw at it
Pull it away
Point at it
Laugh at it
Squeeze it
Until it screams
As soundlessly as I
Floated in and out of your eyesight
While my world spun fast enough
To shatter the sound barrier
And my heart
