I don’t know what to say

For so many reasons

Because

My words aren’t enough

My words are too much

My thoughts are too complex

My thoughts are too simple

I think too much

But about the wrong things

And I’m suffering 

So that you don’t have to

But I’m so very tired of carrying

The pain that isn’t mine 

My words can’t explain these things

So I stomp all over my feelings 

And try to pour you a glass of it

Maybe someday you’ll have a taste 

A savoring sip

Maybe then you’ll understand

But by then

I’ll be gone
