Words in the Wind

Words, beautiful poetic words
gentle and passionate
probing and fulfilling
inspiring confidence, attachment, affection and love

I threw myself into those words
wrapped them around me and let them keep me warm and safe

They held me up when I couldn't feel you near me
and kept me believing
as I mixed my words with yours
kept me fighting for you
fiercely loyal to you

Even when you had in reality left me
but not in words

Words, beautiful lies
expressing true intentions, passionate wishes,
deep-felt hopes and far-fetched dreams

words that slowly erode away as they stay unfulfilled
whisked away in the wind

as though never said

a memory
mixed with false dreams

none of it ever turns out real
