lips like lovers

even in the most desperate of times
my lips stayed sealed.
like passionate teens who are mad for the other.
never leaving the opposite.
the words came clear to my mind
but the lovers never left each other.
they held each other tight
as if they would never meet again
if they simply let go.
i know what i need to say but
every word i swallow and bury
deep inside my stomach;
keeping my lips sealed.
