When I'm Out of Pretty Words to Say...



Speechless I become when full of emotions.  Full of words that I am, there are days I am short of answers. Those are times when I wish people only listened, or understood.

10:54 p.m. to 11:41 p.m.


See me when I'm happy and know
that I am, too, when I know
that you know I am.
Down with the drama,
away with the fancy lines.
When I'm out of pretty words to say,
I want you to listen to the sound
of my laughter, observe the flushes
of red on my face, and notice
when I am cross-faced, speechless,
wide-eyed, or motionless so that even
without my play of words,
you would know...
