Words.
Words that express.
Words that cherish.
That bring us close,
And give life to laughter.
What words would I have for you,
if in their expression
I could explain my heart?
If in their expression
I could gain passage into yours.
Words.
Words of rage.
Words of contempt.
That render,
Making fluid our morality.
What words would I have for you,
If in their speaking
They could give you my pain?
If in their speaking
I could take back my stolen time.
Words.
Words of kindness.
Words that elevate.
That give us hope
And make promises that might just be kept.
What words would I have for you,
If in their uttering
I could heal with compassion?
If in their uttering
I could forgive and be forgiven.
Words,
So inadequate for love,
Much too powerful in hate.
Words.
Give our inadequate love words power with deeds.
Rob those hate words with our furious grace.
