WORDS

 

                         

How many words there must be?

Suspended in time

Words never spoken

Words trapped in the mind

From the mind to the lips, never the journey they make.

From the lips to the ears, words die even before they awake.

Words hiding in the crevices, and recesses of the mind

Wanting to come out, waiting for the appropriate time.

Like an unborn child, words gather and grow inside

Till they are smothered with silence or allowed to erupt and ruin everything far and wide.

So many words unsaid,

Between the lines to be read.

A new language to be learnt, to decipher what is being said.

Thoughts killed, feelings crushed,

Emotions throttled inside.

All for the lack of putting them in words.
