there is nothing
i, you, we can say
now that words
have become
something close
to an impossibility

would it were
we could break out
of this silence
i'm unsure if
i could bare the words

you would say
nothing is left
to share or
should i say
i, you, we have forgotten
what it's like to share

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Dear Faith, this hurts and I do understand the underlying anxiety.

Very effective in its melancholic perspective.

Love,

Although it is difficult, what matters most now is setting fire to that bridge after you cross it.
