Seal these words,
Steal my breath away.
Save yhour voice,
Don't speak to me.
I will not listen,
I will not care.
The bag you placed over my heart--
It's now sealed tightly.
You cannot break the seal,
Only close it tighter.
Your face is a blur,
Your words have slurred.
I don't understand,
I don't want to.
This seal is too tight
To be broken by you.

This one actually won me an Editor's Choice Award. Nothing I really felt, just an idea that came from me.
Seal, as in the verb, not the "arf arf" mammal.
