words are hard
i try to make them right
the ones that make sense
the ones that sound pretty
and fall off my tounge with a smile
but
how i feel
doesn't turn into words
its not smooth or clear like the shattered glass
of the window i taped back together with my imagination
and pretended wasn't scattered across my green carpet
green like your eyes on a grey cloud day
how i feel
is rugged and spiky
like the cactus on the windowsill
dirt mixed with glass bits
destruction i don't recall
only the cuts on my fist remember
the feeling that was felt
as they broke through the delicate, and pretty, but in the end pointless
glass words
exposing the ones made of hardened tears
and the jagged part of love
that can only be found
after you think its gone
words are hard
a reflection of the uncertainty and undoubted insanity
that flows through a "normal" day to day interaction
filled with empty hellos
and meaningless pleasantries
that are supposed to bring you closer to me
but they just make you feel further away
there is no sweet smile i love so
accompanying your every word
there are no eyebrow raises when i say something off
only missing and wondering if each sentence is wrong
words are hard
and the distance only makes them harder
solid and unwavering
taken the wrong way and twisted back on me
hands shaking cause im scared of how to say these things
i love you and always will
is what i meant to say
but all your seemed to hear
was please just go away
words are hard
they don't bend to fit my mouth
sometimes words are sour
unintentionally fowl
and i don't mean to hurt you with the bluntness of how they sound
But with words over text it's not easy
and words are hard anyways . . .
please help me out
words are hard and i have my doubts
that i could ever say this right even if it was out loud
because words are hard
whether written or said
words don't want to come out right
from within my messy color filled head.
