A Tool?

Words

We have quite the

Difficult

Relationship

To say the least

The words have introduced

Itself to me

Saying it was a tool

Free to be used

I'm curious

I open my mouth

To speak

To see how these words will

Form

They come tumbling out

Jumbled

Disjointed

Incoherent

I close my mouth

Willing the mess of words

To stop

But it doesn't work

They fill my head

Daring me to speak

I stupidly try

Again

And it ends again

With shame blazing and

Misunderstanding

Later

I pick up

A pencil

"I wonder what good this will do"

I think bitterly

Remembering my old

Useless tool

I draw a

Curve

It evolves into a

Letter

The pencil

Hand and mind

Become one

The words flow

Onto the lines

Like a steady stream of

Conciousness

Instead of a

Faulty

Sink's

Drip

Our relationship

Worked out in

The end

We just needed

Something

To hold us

Together
