Words Fade Over Time Each time that I write I’m swallowing tears I cannot get beyond Being choked by fears I’m killing each word Stabbing every verse Each tear that I taste Became my own curse Poetry once flowing Alike the endless sea Words I now drown In despair and misery It’s there deep inside Thoughts are sealed Words turn to liquid Till my heart as healed Since you lost touch I’ve fell into decline Sinking to oblivion Words fade over time Hope© 2001 |

Hope~ A sadly written little beauty of your words~ 'I’m killing each word Stabbing every verse Each tear that I taste Became my own curse' *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Hope abides (no pun intended) and if words like this flow now, just think what they'll be later on...and I'll be sure and read them too. jwesley |

Ohh.. I have felt this way, but don't let the words fade, for they will hold you in the end when all else has given up. The words don't give up on us. We give up on them. I love this! Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |

Sometimes the words just refuse to flow, no matter how many tears are pushing at them. But the damn will eventually burst, and those rivers of thought will flow again. |
