When the written word just isn't enough
What do I do?
This piece of me is crying, screaming
I can't move, I can't breathe
It slams into me when I least expect it

And it brings me down
I'm a pile of red stained glass from the blown-out window, buried just below the topsoil
Wipe of the soot, and there I am
But careful, I am sharp
Please don't let our reds mix.

The written words just aren't enough
And I'm pining for a touch
A gesture
A word
Not the written ones displayed on this seven inch rectangle of glass
And circuitry, and electricity.

I need the spoken word
The final blows
The nails to the coffin that resides inside my chest
Seal it with a voice
And I will be free.
So just say them. Say them aloud to me, and make it final.

...my mind and emotions are all wibbly wobbly, because I damn my English classes, and I damn my friends who picked up my assignment, and read it for all to hear, and this just helps me cope.
