There are no shapes that can be formed by my lips No position that I can place my tongue in And nothing I can make my throat do To express what begs to be heard. There are no brushstrokes, No lines and no dots that can convey What is brimming inside me. Even the loudest sound Echoing off the bouncing of a string Or from air colliding through a brass chamber Would fail to touch what I wish to utter. No vibration No frequency No wavelength nor amplitude Could even come close to the silence that emits from the apertures of my face, a silence so total and a heart so raw Even the strongest attraction At the most microscopic level Would crumble before this.

Even the loudest sound Echoing off the bouncing of a string Or from air colliding through a brass chamber Would fail to touch what I wish to utter. No vibration No frequency No wavelength nor amplitude Could even come close to the silence that emits from the apertures of my face, a silence so total and a heart so raw Even the strongest attraction At the most microscopic level Would crumble before this.
