Between Throat and Tongue

Words trapped between 
throat and tongue - 
they won't move
or be heard.
They die
creeping into your mouth
only to be spat out
in your hand
at the wrong time
at the wrong place;
you never got to say it right
never got to
present it
perfectly.
They now lie here in ruins
left unsaid
for too long
till there isn't much left to do
but sigh and wish
words did not get trapped
between throat and tongue.
