English is my second language.
Muttering's my first.
There're things I need to say so bad
my muffle wants to burst.

The fact that I can't [intelligible] you,
well, that just hurts the worst.

I wish these words could join with sound
and leave me better-versed.

Why did "throttle" come to my mind first, even though the rest of your poem is one broad hint? See, I'm still trying to figure out all the edges in what I typed last night. "Blinded eyes" just sounds so personal.

"Talk to" is more consistent, though not as double-edged. I'd like to too, but my first language is "footinmouth" live, speaking before thinking a lot.

I mean, just so you know beforehand.
