All I have are words now
words are all I need
typed, texted, scribbled out
dribbled out of me.
Pleading words, asking, begging
verbal therapy
Waiting on reply, words
Words said absently
Words poured out in fire
through the scribes of centuries
Both comfort and question me
yet remains to be seen..
Do I have the words
or do they possess me?
