Words are...

Words are ‘would’

words are ‘could’

words are ‘I can feel!’.

Words are feral things hiding in corners

words are broken things on the floor.

Words are etched on stone

words are carved into skin.

Words are dreams undreamt

words are selves unfound.

Words are hearts beating, breathing, breaking

words are where you land.

Words are expectations

words are primal needs.

Words are private and sacred

words won’t change the world.

Words help me remember that I exist

words are what I feel.

Words are all that I have sometimes

words are often too real.

Words are demons that plaque my dreams

words wake me from my sleep .

Words I covet, words I steal

words, my soul you will take.
