Those words

poetboy123

Always escaping from my grasp

Feeding the burning frustration of my mind

For those words I can't seem to find

What do I need to say

To keep them moving on

Before this day fades away

Before they're gone

These words

These stupid, idiotic words

Intent on running away from me

I chase them down the alleyways

Within the sewers of doubt

Along the rooftops of memory

Under the bridge of the forgotten

The words I need

Those who I want to lead

But those words

Those brash, indecisive words

They run

and hide

and run

and run

To a place I cannot reach them no matter how hard I try

Leaving me alone in this desolate land

Where they reach out their hands

But I cannot take them

Forced to watch it all break away

All while I can find nothing to say

All while I watch those words run away

 

One day, they'll be mine once again

I will craft myself to be worthy of their respect

I will purge these chaining fears from my heart

Those words are the key to tomorrow

The key to ending their sorrow

And one day, I'll find them once again

    so incredibly moving

  • Poetic Dan

    You are a master of your word, I have no doubt they will be found then heard. One thing for sure when they do, the world will know and witness You. As amazingly wonderful as I already do, no word of a lie I'm inspired by every one of your writes.

    Much peace and respect
    My broetry friend
