The Power of Words

Do you even understand how words work?

Because we could not communicate without them

Not only in the literal sense

But how else could I tell you

How much you hurt me

How I felt when you did what you did

Or how much I hated you for leaving me

How could I possibly describe

The needles in my heart

That stinging sensation

Of a thousand wasps

Or the large ocean blue

That enveloped my heart

And suffocated any remaining feelings

Of happiness

How else could I describe the warmth

Of a red flame that burned furiously

With a vengeance so hot

It made you shiver from anticipation

How else could I describe the calm

Of the sand in the Sahara

With a light breeze blowing it

Towards a new direction

But never steering it where it shouldn't go

How could I describe all of that

Without words?
