I tried and failed to write today
But in the end I did
Words were jumbled inside my head
And nothing would make sense
I wrote and wrote
And erased it all
Words as fleeting as the tide
Fingers grasping empty space then crumbling with a sigh
Words had left me as I had them
The ones unsaid
Some not penned
The ones I hid away
Words to mend
Words to an end
They all died today

Frustrated at the futility
Dreaming of tranquility
I went to close the page

But when I did a message came
And brought with it a change

"Nothing to save. Discarded."

Reading that words came to me
And we felt the pain
Of two empty things
Lost for good
Following the wind
