Words aren\u2019t enough
They never have been
But they\u2019re all I\u2019ve got
All I can cling to
In the quiet, lonely moments
They\u2019re not great company
They were supposed to give me hope
Instead they fall
Bouncing off the walls between us
Unheard, lacking meaning
And purpose
What\u2019s the point?
If all happens for a reason
What reason is there
To forge a connection
And break it so swiftly,
So completely?
More words, more questions
That will never be answered
Looking for meaning
Where none will be found
