Won'T Say The Word Poem by Reshma Ramesh

why do you ask me not to say the four letter word
does it sound absurd or what is the discord?
it is nothing iam making up only what i feel
you are the one who told me all about being honest and real

baby what is in a word that is out in the air?
isn't it what you feel matters more than this affair?
maybe its just what i think and if that is what you meant
then baby let me say the word, heartfelt, true and innocent


if you still don't want to hear it then i wont say
but i cant stop the feeling inside, i iant a cache
if you still don't want me to feel it then i wont
i will stop myself from breathing and believing

why do you say u are scared of me?
iam a little girl with a scraped knee
don't tell me you don't feel the same as me
passionate, loving beautiful and free


if you didn't want love from me
then what is that you did see?
beautiful body, luscious lips
to heaven and back, free trips?


i tore my walls and opened up to you
now iam at your mercy that is so true
shouldn't we be scared of our emotions?
why should we hide behind allusions?


are you now scared of the fire you lit?
that might burn you bit by bit
are you scared of the hurricane?
wild and powerful, the one you cannot tame



is it that u are scared i will ask you more
good mornings and good nights have become a chore
it is alright baby iam so used to heartbreaks
i know what is gonna come, i need no retakes.
