Episode 116: These Words I Give to You

These Words I Give to You - a PoemI am here when, in my silence, vain and foolish thoughtsScream and proudly boast that careless words would heal.I am here when inward longings fall helpless into unnamed chasmsAnd when dark shadows hide our faces from one anotherAnd taunt us with what we think we see.I am here when I cannot see youAnd when all that's left is the memory of what I know.Like a lifeline, my fingers hold tight their grasp of the rope,The end of which holds the truth of you.And for that truth, I hold tight with other hand, my tongue,And wait, for words that are my own and not another's.These words I give to you.
