"Speechless" - (Poem)

For

my hand cannot write what I will upon my pen

with tongue in teeth I cannot speak having no remorse to repent

the last incision was my decision to remove this from my heart

mistakes are made cold and bitter

the wounds are calloused and spread apart

take this sharpened blade

guide it down the pulsing vein of words never uttered

flood the streets at children's feet

the tragic songs we sing each other

let those confessions beg and question the limits of our souls

the road you are on dead ends and splits

but it can lead you home


(2007)
