The Words Are On Your Face

-The Words That Are On Your Face-
by
Keaton Foster



Say nothing
Be quiet
There is no need to speak
The words that are on your face
I know what you are gonna say
I may be socially inept
By I can read such queues
Those nervous ticks
I know what’s coming next
Many times before
Many times more
I have been here
I deserve it all
Every damn bit
All that you did was love me
All that you did was care
When no one else would
I repaid your kindness
Your appreciation for my heart
With the cruxcification of yours
You never stood and chance
I knew that from the word go
I refused to tell you
Because I wanted a taste
Of what you alone were offering
Expressing myself via the page
Has become my speciality
Expressing myself via reality
Has become my constant calamity
I will survive you and your exit
Because above all other things
Survival is what I know most
The words that are on your face
Say all that needs to be said
Dare not speak a seconds worth
Of all that you are sure you regret
I know what you are gonna say
Because I’ve heard it all before…
