Deployment

It's about my words and feelings of love being saved for my boyfriend who is overseas.

Empty words
are
sliding off my tounge
and the only
ones
that mean anything
are stuck in my throat
stabbing
like a knife
[nothing will make
it out until you're
here]
they spill out onto
paper
and send themselves
far away
into your eyes
sailing into
deep green
[nothing will make
it out until you're
in my arms]
those words are
meant for your
ears only
and
those words
will be stuck
in my throat
until your eyes
meet
mine
again
