Words

by Beautiful Tragedy   Nov 18, 2018


Words.
It’s amazing how I’ve always been so good at
using them to explain how I feel;
How I could always seemingly fit them
together perfectly to describe what we have.
Poetry has always kind of been my journal-
And no matter what I’m going through or
what I have going on I have almost never
had trouble putting it into a beautifully crafted piece-
Even when it came to you.
But lately I’ve realized that it’s been harder
to write about you-
Not because I don’t want to but because I
can’t find the words anymore to perfectly
describe us.
And maybe that’s the thing.
Maybe after a while I wasn’t meant to put
it out there for everyone else to read
Or maybe it just wasn’t meant to be put into words and sentences and poetry-
It was only ever meant to be felt
because at some point along the way...
Words stopped being usable and accurate and;
feeling and appreciating it became
everything.

    You are not getting the actual words to describe your emotions towards the one whom you love and me on the other hand want to write so much, express so many emotions for the gal I love but I don't get enough time to write. It Seems like two different persons traveling in the same boat yet unable to reach the shore of poetry.
    BT, touched by heart with this one.

    It’s funny how many words there are and how we are sometimes unable to use them. Poetry often comes easy, but other times it leaves us frustrated and confused. Maybe there are just some moments in life that need no words. I think, in itself, your poem is relatable and speaks truthfully. I think it could be shorter and more subtle in places, but you paint a tender picture here. :)
