The softest and lightest words
spoken from the heart
carry the most weight

Wasted words
on paper or screen
some with meaning
others simply empty
should have been saved
for another time

Fear
reflected in words
thrown at others
mirroring
our pain

A poets words
worth more posthumously
which is sad
I have lots of words
and worth every penny

Fear, horror, all trapped in words on the page,
thankfully the monster is stuck there
and not free to roam with rage

Words trapped
stopping the heart
as the pen is prevented
from spilling emotion
resulting in death.
