the words slipped from my mouth

the words slipped from my mouth... and i didn't take them back
how can i? when
they are mine own words
they speak what i think

i wish they didn't cut you 
i wish i can allow myself
to eat them down
stop them from bubbling forth
but i can't
i can't shut them in 

and so i lay them there
with their edges poking out
and i pray that i can kiss the wounds
my words have caused.
