Imprisoned Heart

can we talk
for just a second
i want to tell you
everything i never did
so can we just
talk for a moment
and can you listen
to the sounds I make
and the amounts
of breaths i take
and the look
in my eyes
because i don’t think
i can tell you
everything i never did

just please
be willing to see
and feel
what i want to say

my heart is imprisoned
by lips sealed shut
from everything unforgiven
of past lovers.
