Her words, not mine.

Her words stay up here,

like they're a secret kept.

But I try to sing that song,

just to get it off my chest.

It never works, her voice

won't ever let me rest.

I know she's long gone,

she stop listening,

but, for her,

I clear my throat and

always try my best.

I hang on every word, the ones I hear everyday, and pick up the mic with nothing left to say. My mouth is open, but these aren't my words anymore. I sing my heart out and prove I'm the fool you took me for.
