My life looks like my handwriting
Sloppy
Messy
Barely legible
Your love for me is calligraphy
A fluid movement of the heart
A cursive caress
A swift swoop of your stylus
My anger is stenciled onto me
In big block letters
Up and down both arms burning
To a furious fire in my hands
Your laughter uplifts me
An entire alphabet sings within it
It's another language
Filled with well wished words of wisdom
My sadness speaks to me
It's become my best friend
Whispering softly in my ear
That something has gone terribly wrong here
What I've worried about all along has now arrived
Your beauty is deafening
It came at me yelling and screaming
In an uproar that made me feel ugly
An unparalleled audible pretty
Before the silence muted me
You said everything I could ever ask for in a muse
I believe you can help my hurt
By leading by example
Showing and teaching me
The hand gestures of a happy life
The signs to communicate love
A beautiful return of sounds
A loud anger and
Sadness barrier breaker
Taking them away
When I hear this song and
My nothing becomes something
Then I will talk and hear again
