All the words will fall away
like tears of lead, dull, grey, useless
Things said to fill the empty spaces
to prolong the inevitable disconnection
to hang back for a moment
and keep her there, with me
though we are so very far apart
I can say these things to try and make her laugh
Say these things to show her I care
Say anything, something, nothing
just to have another second
For words have always come easy to me
feelings, not so much
They say it's the old wounds that will kill you
but it's the new wounds that make me flinch
Still, I say all the words
and they fall away
like tears of lead
dull and grey and useless
