The words

The words

Whatever I ‘ve wanted to tell

Whenever I’ve wanted to tell

I couldn’t do so

Because words failed me!

Words – they ditched me

They failed me

They weaved new meaning into themselves

When I used them.

They said all and more

They sounded good and wow too!

But- they never said

What I asked them to…..

They said what they wanted to

They said whatever they wanted to…

But…they never said

What I asked them to.

Words, I don’t trust them

Words, I can’t trust them – anymore

They mean a lot

except what I want them to mean.

And so, I’ve come to stop using them

And instead communicate in silence

Because words have failed me…..
