No Words



No Words

At times I’m at
A loss for words

And so I write
Some things
I’ve heard

Things that
May
Or
May not
Be true
But who would care
Would I
Would you

It’s not like truth
Is all that they say

It could be last night
As well as today

I’ve seen it go
Here
As well as go
There

But one thing is
Certain
It’s not always
Clear

And so I write
Nothing today

Nothing to
Share

Nor nothing
To say

But write
I will

Until
I fill
This blank
Lonely
