my brain is useless.
it is my eyes
that run over
the edges of your mouth,
greeting the sky,
when i watch you
watch the birds
fly towards
their innocent idea
of a home.
my brain is useless.
my ears hear
the quiet sound
of your laughter,
when it tries to peek
through a steady stream
of my babbles.
my brain is useless.
it is my arms
that i trust
to not miss a single second
of encapsulating your
every word,
every glance,
every movement
that you lavish
on me.
my brain is useless.
it is my words
that do not fail me -
i can dress you up
in the prettiest allegories,
the most mesmerising
of metaphors,
the most flattering adjectives.
my brain is useless,
but you
have the power
of rendering all my syllables
an extravagant waste,
an unnecessary hindrance,
with
one
single
word.
(or maybe three)
