Sometimes You Make My Heart Heavy

Words never come easy

When your eyes are on me

My heart grows heavy

It beats so deliberately

Your words sting like frost bite

I'm defenseless

I'm the child

I don't have your years

Or your experience

What am I supposed to say?

To your crossed arms

And your angry eyes

I decide on doing the only thing

I know you can tolerate right now

I nod and utter an okay

I wait for you to respond

But you choose to walk away from me

Because words never come easy
