Words are used too often And yet even more misused Showing our weakness Such as sadness and pain Shifting from physical as a child Simply meaning a splinter or cut To emotional when older With shattered dreams Or failed friendships You seem to be illiterate Throwing words you don’t seem to know what they mean Like love and feelings You seem to be illiterate You held my heart in your hands And slowly crushed it wish the guise of a tender embrace Maybe I'm illiterate Unknowing what to say or feel or how to show you Not knowing how to tell you and pour my heart to you

Illiterate
Words are used too often And yet even more misused Showing our weakness Such as sadness and pain Shifting from physical as a child Simply meaning a splinter or cut To emotional when older With shattered dreams Or failed friendships You seem to be illiterate Throwing words you don’t seem to know what they mean Like love and feelings You seem to be illiterate You held my heart in your hands And slowly crushed it wish the guise of a tender embrace Maybe I'm illiterate Unknowing what to say or feel or how to show you Not knowing how to tell you and pour my heart to you
This one isn't that great ngl, but I'm not going to do much else to it so I'm throwing it out here
