lyrics

I should have written love letters all along
instead of spelling out what was not wanted in silence.
and so I lost my voice ---
content to seek an accuracy I would want
to speak
or at least understand
within my self

an outline around my form where there should be none
and I am the blank page babbled upon
scrawl rewritten to name what I have not done
I am the last drop of ink spread thin and desperate.

What were those words that I tried to remember?
the Lexis muttered upon my tongue turns it heavy
It struck hard; a violent chord within my throat.
It made me; it sounded me out like the vowels of a howl.
