Only Words
It's only words, slips of letters formed
to be spewed when you're really not listening
envisioning the past on which love was once adorned.
Some brief reply you spoke in haste
when all I wanted was understanding,
empathy upon your face.
The words you heard were indistinct from what I said
and emptiness now holds its place
and no bonds between us as we looked ahead
you heard me loud and clear
too soon our time is done
not once knowing, feeling what I feared,
nothing remains between the clouds and sun
you and I forever parted on the run
and all long forgotten, lost in only words.
