Poetry

By BrokenButterflyWings

Old words
on a new crisp page.
Painting a book in tears,
Washing it in yesterday.

Mind stagnating.
Breath abating.
Words say nothing.
Anything,
but nothing new.

Just another stain.

A cry from my brain
to make sense
of the silence I always hear.

saying things that I can't say,
in any other way.
