POEM -- "There Are No Words" by Thomas Herr

There Are No Words

By Thomas Herr (2002)

There are no words

To describe the state I’m in.

The passage of time

Goes quietly, and as it passes me by

It whispers to me

While those I Love grow old and die.

There are no words

Except to say there are no words.

There’s only the sound of a beating heart

Fueled by the fear of

Tears from

Beating alone.
