Broken English
There are words I cannot say
Because you wouldn't comprehend
And phrases tangling my tongue making
Me afraid I'll make things upright
Silent idioms held between my teeth
In order not to let me bleed
Tidal waves of apprehensives
Kept aside like stained utensils
And it would be by the book
If there wasn't for me and for you
If there wasn't for your open eyes
And your ears listening to every sound
Yet, still you don't want to hear or see
Because you're afraid of what's inside of me
Even though you miss it much
You're still too stubborn to touch
