Words of a Poet

“Words of Beauty”
January 15th, 2004

My beautiful words, speak for my heart
Surprisingly not waiting for yours
Expected nothing, but nothing…
Then you can no longer disappointment me
My memories I can’t let go
Even If I wanted…
Providing comfort and pain,
In one thought.

My beautiful words, will no longer be said
My heart to remain broken
Silencing my words
Keeping them to myself
I know you don’t care for them…
As I remain quiet
It burns my throat
And stings my heart

My beautiful words…
Are no longer words
Just the past…
And now just thoughts.
