only when you whispered me the words
the words you whispered me
only when you whispered me
the strength in silence
words
his words tattooed
his words tattooed relentless onto your heart
your reply carved with chisels into mine
lost in words
lost in words
thoughts forgotten
the audience understands

holy words
holy words
the words with which you blessed me
holy words
the words with which you saved me
holy words
the words you called as the lifeboat found me
I cannot fill my heart with words
I cannot fill my heart with words
but still I try
recycle the words
recycle the words
words recycle
reuse the words
the words
reduce
Your words burned
Your words burned.
“We need to talk” scorched,
“It’s not you” set my blood to seethe
and
all those words about finding yourself
were fiery nails through my heart.
One day I hope
a “maybe”, “perhaps another try”
will extinguish flames and salve again the steaming wounds.
other hemispheres
in my head in my heart in my hands
my words are heat
on the page on the screen
they fade to cool
take them in, breathe them in
the heat of the sun
of my head of my heart of my hands
will come to you
will heat you through
when words
when words take breath
when words
when words
when words take
when words take breath
