Words

Words choke inside me and die

But no one sees their corpses

What if there's nothing I have got to say

And that is more scary.

Words fail me, 

It's easier just to nod along,

To laugh so easily 

and yet feeling the tightness inside my chest.

Words are failing time,

Moments are lost,

And we are left with hollow smiles.

Words wrap threads around my heart,

Maybe that will lift the curse,

Or maybe the heart hides behind them 

And looks at you from the spaces

Maybe some light will enter

Maybe it will be enough

But words won't help.
