I sat down to write…
As her memories
And my anxieties
Had started choking me
I placed on the desk a blank sheet of paper
Picked the pen up and guided it over
Even before I could write a word
My heart jumped out and sat on the paper
But now I was thinking hard
About the words
That will replace my heart
Will express my feelings
Which my heart was screaming
What my life was missing
How I suffered suffocation, irritation,
Worries difficulties botherations
Now it was hurting as my neck remained craned
Words didn’t emerge in my non-functional brain
In despair, I placed the pen in the slot
And shut the inkpot
My eyes were welling up
And tears were rolling down
Traveling my cheeks
And jumping off in the end
Finding the blank paper to land
Forming an unshapely figure
Soon these figures filled entire paper
With a language that couldn’t be read
But my feelings?
My feeling were perfectly expressed
Tears had said it all
All that I couldn’t recall
Alas! Sadly
My words had failed me.
