Words
Abundant--
Not lacking for words…
But putting them together with a voice
Nearly impossible…
Listen to the words I don’t speak
And know how much my heart
feels for you
Listen to the words lost in translation
While I stutter myself into silence
So many words…
There is so much to say
Yet I cannot move them from my heart
to my tongue
This voice I use in fear
of stumbling over my own stupid
sound
If you could just crawl into my heart
Pen the word-puzzle together
and put sound to it—
Any sound!  Some kind of sound…
Then you would know
what truly lies hidden
there…
There beneath the layers of my own
stuttering self…
Words abundant—
Find them if you can…
Hear them…
Feel them…
Know them…
If only
they can even begin to convey
my heart for you
My friend…

And sometimes stutter in silence

I'm sad for you friend
that your tongue conspires against you

I truly hope someday
you find the words to say.
