Return

Cry out longing
Waiting long for response
To continue to wait
To long for return
What returns is strange
Distortion setting in
The words spoken not heard

A game of telephone
Play to find twisted words
You may have never said
Regret for speaking under risk of echo

Similar to a synonym
Similar
Not quite exact
A repetition of an assumption
Without way to know were it began

Where did it began
A concept spoken to word
Travels by sound
Caught be the echo
Changed by the echo
Passing through time and space
