Button It

Protect Yourself

Many words spoken?
Too much revealed?
Then from this moment
Your lips shall be sealed

You must use discretion
Practise restraint
Constraint is allowed
Verbal diarrhoea ain't

Silence is safest
Noncommittal is best
Keep feelings secret
Your emotions suppressed

Protect yourself
Get a grip
Do not say 'I love you'
Button that lip


can you hear me now
