My mouth seals shut,
pink lips pressed tight around
all the words I want to say.
There they stand, stoic sentries
to my tangled thoughts until
the perfect phrase wiggles free-
shoves with all its feeble strength
against my flesh and
the drawbridge falls at last.

(these gates have been locked for years, you were long gone before the syllables assembled)
It's not that I have nothing to say,  but too much - much too much to ever speak - so I won't start.
