Speechless

I wish I had a voicebox

Oh

I wish I had a voicebox

The things I would say? Ha.

Well. First of all I'd clear my throat.

Breathe the air in deep

And hold it in.

I'd want to be prepared.

Next I'd make a phrase.

Say it loudly so that everyone could hear me.

I'd use clear words, complex and mundane.

Vocabulary is something I'd remember today.

But no one would listen.

Not a single word.

What was that?

Did someone say something?

Quiet down I'm trying to speak

Let me think, let me breathe

If I could just say something to you

I wouldn't even waste my time

Saying how your hair flows down like a princess

And I fell in love when I was seven years old

And you wore that little dress

And how everyone's a fake copy of the things they hate

And if you were ever suffocating you could take my breath away

The way your smile lights up your face

And I could be with you everyday

Till we waste away

But oh no.

I can't seem to speak.

If I only had a voicebox.
