Felt in Words

i could keep writing forever


that's what feelings do to us
don't they
that's what we make of feelings
don't we

we have never been able to quite make peace with feelings; how we feel, what we feel, why we feel

overwhelmed in happiness and in sorrow
so much so that we pen it all; every bit of it, every last of it
in the hope that we might finally seek respite from the seething gravity of the scalding truth



and yet here we are, humbled in words
