Words

They leave me just as quickly as they come

Words

They spell out my heart’s desires

Words

More than ever I yearn

Words

I’m tempted to quit more than ever

Words

I can’t find them on a clear day

Words

How long will this absence stay?

Words

When my tongue is twisted

When my mind won’t mend

Words

The more I beg for your presence

The more you resist

Words

Complications

And I stop…

Words

-Sarabi
