I held out my hand, but there wasn’t an answering grasp
For mouths that are quick to express love
The mind recoils even as the words form
They are a hollow sound
Bereft of impact when thrown carelessly
Callously burning the root of the tongue
Which treacherously allows them to escape
To end its own misery by spilling them out
And polluting everything they touch
😢 unfortunately, I can also relate to that. But in my case, I was just plain stupid and desperate attention/affection/love. But I was confusing love with lust. And other ridiculousness.
