I don't want to talk as if I'm running out of time,
as if I need to force my voice out for you to just
listen.
I don't want to say everything on my mind in
only
one breath.
I don't want to have to make the choice of
whether or not to
speak
or not to speak.
To speak with a timer, the ticking of a bomb in your eyes
as you slowly stop listening to the emotions that
I pour out.
Or if I'll just stay silent,
or if I just won't risk the ticking of the
bomb.
I don't want to choose anymore.
I don't want to race against time,
and I don't want the only listener to be
time and the silence that rings around my
empty and unspoken words.
I don't want to choose anymore.
Don't make me choose anymore.
Please.
