Words


There aren't enough words in this feeble language

to say everything I want to say

but because I don't know the words

I can't even put it to thought

Is there a rhyming scheme for emotions

that feel too big and too vast to hold on to?

Is there a word for when you miss someone

you've never met?

How do we encompass an entire universe

with a few small words

that we made up ourselves?
