words

you know better than anyone
that i am no good with words
i try to twist them into an intricate pattern
so you'd finally understand how i feel

but my pattern becomes a mess of 26 letters
all fighting to be freed from my lips first

i never know what to say to make you understand
the depth of my feelings for you
and how far your love has nestled into my heart
and how much that love is a lifeline

perhaps this feeling cannot be described in words
but more so described in how i show you my heart
and how much of it is yours
