When words fail me
what more do I have?
The only gift I have left to give
and they get me nowhere
There’s nothing left to say, is there?
No way to string a sentence
to change you mind
especially when you won’t speak or listen
Just silence
unyielding
unending
haunting
and a million other ways
to convey the same meaning
the same feeling of loss and hopelessness
that threatens to overwhelm me
in the face of what’s become
of what we once shared
