There Are Only Words For This...

Uninspired
I try to write
I try to think
I try to live
& all I find is
there are only
words for this

Unsatisfied
I try to work
I try to remember
I try to forget
& all I learn is
there are only
words for this

Unrelenting
I try to leave
I try to be
I try to arrive
but in all I do
there are only
words for this

Uncontrollably
I toss and turn
I scowl
I yearn
but despite all conditions
there are only words for this

The spirit wanes
The soul wilts
The specter warns
"...there are only words for this..."

With only words
I can say nothing
though I know
there is much to be said
With no words
I could say anything
but I know
it'd be mere sounds in my head

So I chase the things
behind the lexical-scene
Trying to find something
that such words might mean
I fail, I fail, I fail, and fail...
but someday I will prevail
There may be no words for this
but in my mind still now
there are only words for this
