The Sorry and Swollen Lips

My lips are swollen.
My lips are swollen with the words I can't say.
My lips are swollen with the lies I keep telling.
And please. Don't turn on the light.
Please don't look at my mouth.
Please don't ask me to move my hand.
Please don't look in the green eyes that I got from you.

These are the words I won't say.
These are the words I don't say.
These are the words and the words are trapped.
The words are trapped and ready to burst.
That's why they're swollen.
They're not swollen from too much kissing.
I promise.
I promise.
I promise.
Swelling lips.
Swollen lips.
Building a city of swelling lies.

I'm sorry.
I've never lied to you like this before.

I say it how it is but I don't have integrity.
I'm honest but I'm not true.
