I TOLD YOU THE WORST
I had been thinking
Of who I am
From the first day
I called my mother, "Mom"
But when I saw you
I see my chance
Not to lose myself forever
As you broke the silence
That has kindly stilled
The murmuring river in me
From speaking without words
And trust me on this
I won't lie to you
Because I told you the worst
That, I love you.
