Maddening this
All the words I want to say
From my lips they will not stray
~
Maddening still
Right there hanging in the air
My soul they will not bare
~
Maddening deeper
With wings of delight words take flight
I cannot catch them with all my might
~
Mad
Let me catch you
My muscles burn from the churn
~
Madder
Why in my depth of sorrow
Will you not shower me for tomorrow
~
Maddening
Book, pages, years and tears
Full of words, words without fears
~
Sad
Why now words? I need you most!
Leave me not without your host
