Words fail me

I'd love to give you guys something insightful on this Write Away Wednesday, but my brain is fried. So instead I'm giving you guys a poem I wrote last July. It's quite appropriately titled, too.

WORDS FAIL ME

Words fail me
Words, which have been my friends
My companions
Fought at my side
On my side
They now have died
They subside
For all they’ve tried
They can no longer capture
What I need them to say

Words fail me
Words, which have been my playmates
Described love and friendship
Painted beauty sublime
Screamed of the depths of evils
And the heights of righteous things
Words, which have thrown back their mane and roared
Are floored
Now, when I need them most
They’ve wondered away

Words fail me
Words, which should be flowing from my lips
Have disappeared
Vanished. Where?
Into thin air
Words I need to share
To show you how much I care
My words are defeated and mute
Paling in the truth
Of the emotion I feel
Inundating my heart.
Words, please convey
Words?
Not today.
