Thin Lines PhemieC

I said a word
But, it got caught in my throat, and it burned
Slipped off my tongue and I choked,
You were concerned for a second
Then cries echoed into the night
Lesson learned

Because you heard a word
That I said, and this word how it rang
In your head, it was loud and glorious, yes
And from where you lay on my chest, well
You heard it best

But you held me closely while I screamed
And I watched the thinnest trails of green
Run down your neck, and drip from your chin
Thin trails of green, thin lines, on gray skin

Thin lines on gray skin
Thin lines on gray skin
Where the world ends, that’s were we begin
My thin line, my thin line

I said a word
Was it a blessing or curse?
Nobody knows the whole story,
Nobody hears me but you
And you would have heard more if you could have, I’m sure
