no more words

by Karyn Huntting Peters

my words just left me.
they went somewhere.
maybe they are hiding.
i can’t find them.
i am too tired to look.
there are more important things right now.
my words don’t matter.
what matters is what my words can’t say.
you, you who took my words away...
you know what that is.
the words were just extra anyway.
like daisies and kisses.
we never had to have those either.
but i thought they meant something.
they’re gone now.
gone with the words.
shall i be scarlett?
do you give a damn?
you make me so mad i could scream.
sometimes i wish i’d never laid eyes on you.
but i will be strong.
and god as my witness,
i’ll always remember...

the words.
