I wish I could explain The longing for words to come out I wish I could explain The unforgivable wait for my thoughts to become tangible I wish I could explain The magnitude of my predicament I wish I could write it out for you I wish I could scream it at the top of my lungs With no mistake, no regret, no stutter I wish you could hear me I wish you could sense the tidy speed of this process I long for a coherence between these parts of myself The mind, the fingers, the tongue The expressions and sincere meaning Behind these useless words The extension to which they bend the horizon upside down The spiral they project onto the metaphysical The waves they create within me The chaos they chase
