Words have a sense that tells me I still have something to let out into the world
I have been speaking for ages and ages hence that I feel I've said everything there is to be said
Sometimes, I speak even when tact is not valued and sometimes, I push through even when I'm unwanted
During the times that people really value me for who I am, that's when I realize that I have played into a trap and have been too weak to resist
Words have a sense that tells me there is silence absent in my soul and I need it back
Gone are the days of cresting shallows of neglect and instead I spent them sinking into that high you gave me
It's been too long since I last felt this free to tell you all that I've been holding back that while I love how days passed so quickly when you're there I cannot pretend I didn't feel relieved when you left
One thing I wished I said was that words have a sense that tells me I'm not running on empty fuel yet and I still have an agency to decide
All I have asked you back then was for you not only to listen when I speak but to understand my silence too
