Words Don't Work


Words have always

just made sense to me;

with you, they all just 

disappear.

 

It's like I can't make

the words that I think

come out of my mouth

the way that they're supposed to.

 

I wish it was easy

to be around people 

and, like,

actually function,

 

but I'm pretty sure

that's definitely

not how it works -

at all.

 

I know that you love me,

and you know that I love you,

so I think that's

all the words that I need.

ZACCHAEUSANEW

All the sentences you may find have deep, dark secrets of my mind. If ye seek, then ye shall find; They might be bleak, they're unrefined. When you see them, please, don't sneer; I only wish for you to hear.
