No One Would Understand the Words
——————————
So many times ago…
I was told –
No one would understand the words…
The words that flow so openly through
the feathered pen of my musical heart…
Those words, that pick every particle of my
inquisitive mind apart.
They said nobody would understand…
The words of my eternal soul…
That sing so lively into the midnight air,
that touch the sparkling moon and kiss its face…
They said nobody would understand…
Nobody would stay to listen to my enlightened spirit
as it explained her tale of woe…
The words…
The words that strum the wrenching story of my beating heart,
explaining how a cold darkness once tore it apart…
They said nobody would understand…
So please…dear soul…
Tell me…
Why do you sit here now,
weeping to these tales,
as you hold my hand?
