Literature Text

Nothing can be said with a bag of broken words.

Our minds try to fly but we've clipped the wings of birds.

You'll always be a fleeting grasp from what you want to say.

You'll always have lightning on the brightest shining day.

The only time we truly speak is when our tongues are still.

The silence that we scream is loud enough to kill.

You waste your time with words, I'm staring at your eyes,

I'd rather swim in pools of blue than listen to your lies.

You are the deaf pianist, playing songs you'll never hear,

The notes your fingers never hit come through crystal clear.

When you speak, I close my eyes, and listen to your song,

Cause someday, when you sing, the love will all be gone.
It's funny, the people you find inspiration in. I don't feel like a poet, I feel like a thief who steals emotions and thoughts and hordes them together in word form.

And I feel like a thief because I simply luuurve reading what you've written:
You are the deaf pianist, playing songs you'll never hear,
The notes your fingers never hit come through crystal clear.
