| Because I can’t talk (to you)
|
crimsonkiss
| Where have I gone? | 1 |
Deflated and bruised | 2 |
again, (silenced, mute) | 3 |
You havn’t hit me , yet. | 4 |
I have been here before, | 5 |
and know it doesn’t last. | 6 |
It is a storm, tornado, | 7 |
simple show of human | 8 |
weather, passing, temporal. | 9 |
Do I take it, or face the | 10 |
world alone? | 11 |
- I don’t think so, | 12 |
| |
It’s only words, | 13 |
it’s only words | 14 |
it’s only words. | 15 |
I ‘ll say it again, | 16 |
it’s only words. | 17 |
| |
Everything belongs in | 18 |
words, they are the wrapping, | 19 |
the packaging, the | 20 |
protection for the | 21 |
fragile, the vulnerable. | 22 |
Words wrap feelings, stroke | 23 |
and verify. ‘It’s only words’ | 24 |
doesn’t work for me. | 25 |
Words are where I am, | 26 |
so now your hurricane | 27 |
of mere language has | 28 |
blown me right | 29 |
out of sight. Out | 30 |
of range. | 31 |
| |
| |
I feel the shame , and | 32 |
hopelessness of our | 33 |
nowness, with no yesterday | 34 |
to smooth | 35 |
the way, and no | 36 |
tomorrow beckoning. | 37 |
Our nowness, | 38 |
as we circle the same hurts, | 39 |
familiar thrusts of never forgottens | 40 |
threatening . | 41 |
| |
I’m scared. | 42 |

Only words you say? And yet those words have to power to kill- if you stay you are as bad as me.
Please try to find the strength to live again, if you do then I can do the same. You are worth more than you feel now. Don't be scared, you are not alone!

Unknown, that is a generous act. I'm still not sure. I think we're all alone.

Cheers psychofemale, love your nomenclature. Steering in calmer waters now. this might need an edit as it was written in the eye.
— crimsonkiss
Just checking in- you are ok?
— unknown
your choice of words and care taken with presentation shows great depth.
— manuka
thanks unknown, that is really kind. I feel much stronger now. And thanks manuka. its moments like these that you plummet the depths. there wasn't much care taken at the time, i need to look at it in the cold light of day, or maybe not. Just let the moment remain as it was. Its in the past now.
