Envision      

a silent thought suspended in my mind
never to be verbalized
i know you play me a fool
yet i refuse to speak
my face remains inanimate
the expression is that of a stone
vacant and emotionless

i am vigilant of your words
they wind a river of deception
flowing fast like blood in veins
every sentence passes me by
i hear your voice
but i comprehend a foreign language

my true thoughts lie buried deep within
i remain hesitant to their release
if not carefully woven,
once spoken, i fear destruction
like razors to your throat,
they will slit through your unblemished skin

spout your breath for all eternity
there is no convincing me
words are meaningless,
i see beyond your pristine facade
i read into your soul
i know the truth
yet i refuse to speak
