Shifting words
I keep thinking
I'll find a way to say
All these things
That elude
Articulation
Sy sy syllables
Slip away
Before I have
A chance
To say
What you need
Trapped behind
An illiterate mute
Like me.
Wish I was blind
So I couldn’t watch
As you sink,
Drowning in
The violent waves
Of screaming silence.  
Can’t think anything
And as you turn away
Heart broken,
I realize noting spoken
Will compare
To the damage done
By a silent stare.
