they have precise meanings
especially when they are telling you who you are
no word is kind enough
when victim is the self-perpetrator
no word is descriptive enough
when hurt is self-inflicted out of stupidity
they have precise meanings
when they tell you what depths of irrationality you have plumbed
they have precise meanings when they are not band-aiding
you cant hide the sore from its dressing, can you?
no word is correct enough to tell you
you should have known better
they have precise meanings
when they tell you about your feet of clay
that is my tragedy
there are no words to tell me how i fell in my own eyes
how hard the fall was
how i'm struggling to get up
they have precise meanings
but no words
