if i could (t-mic speak out)

maybe i would say:
if i were someone else,
perhaps it'd be easier to speak out
if only the words spoke easy
and time were infinite spans of short
but only you know of this voice
worth speaking up it comes out, in,
three short breaths cause i have not
yet found the tone
dial up, spark it
this rooms all stale, a cigars musk
won't leave this room
on lanterns or in a hurry
i don't do the "what i was worth" dance off
instead i tip toe, gracefully towards the door
