Prompt: This Stone Longs to Speak

The words sit heavy on my tongue
How do you know 
stones have no tongue?
Have you looked inside?
You probably think 
I have no soul
No heart
No tears
No laughter

The words sit heavy on my tongue
I love you
You hurt me
I want to be with you
I want to be alone
I’m sorry
I wish
I could say the words
I wish you could hear them

The words sit heavy on my tongue
Right behind the teeth 
I don’t have
In the mouth 
you don’t notice
Wet with tears
I don’t cry
I want to dance
I want to fly
I want to feel your arms round me
I want to watch the stars cross the sky
