the careless things we say get us into trouble

the words that are not quite true

the words that are too real

falling from our lips before we have a chance to catch them

slipping through our child sized hands like time

i never thought id say that till a month after i spoke

funny how the words tasted premature

id never suprised myself till them

im afraid ill end up doing it again

the mistakes we make 

are the pills we never swallowed

please take these words out of my mouth

and save me from being hung out to dry

in a marinade of lies that you feed

to the victims of your pretty words

that the brightest mind would still almost believe

i never thought id have to swallow this

the choices that ive made backfired

and shot me in the gut like a broken gun

i dont know where to begin

ive never ended things 

i dont have the words

a sparrow fell and died that day

i thought i saw love in your eyes

the lies that i believed

so ill shake my head and walk away

swearing that ill never make the same mistake again

life was better before i knew there were wolves under my bed

thats what i used to tell myself

now i scare the wolves away 

with the words i write that are too real

about the words that arent quite true

cluttering up my heart

k.g.
