Words

Today

such an odd word that

when compared with the truth of experiences

shared across the miles

capturing moments

Most would see as banal

but that hold such truths as to

crush souls

beneath the weight of words

Spoken and not

Silence

a deafening hurt

inflicted

then an embrace

also

Silent

lifting to heights

never known

for we need

Not

the words of lovers

only those

moments

instances of heartfelt

Emotion

repairing the holes

torn into the soul
