Just Words

Doesn’t seem like much
	these words put down on paper,
	a collection of thoughts, ramblings,
	random parsings, pieces of me, loving, hurting,
	spaced apart  just so, 
        rhythmical in their own way.
This is my form of song
	from the singer who cannot song,
	from the dancer who cannot dance;
	my patterns and routine to living,
	my breath and heartbeat to life.
Simple words, nothing elaborate
	just how and what I feel
	at this moment of joy, pain, heartache
	trying to get through the days
	recalling the past now lost
	with little help of recovery.
The words somehow,
	help me live on, alone,
	trying my best 
        to still be me, 
        without you.
My choice now,
	loving and having lost
	hurts too much
	to try once more
	or 
        to ever love again.
All I leave you then,
        are just words.
