In So Many Words
In So
Many Words
I do not want to waste the words,
Because I don’t know where they come from,
But I’m pretty sure,
I borrowed them.
I do not want to misuse the words,
Because some of them are not mine,
I only put them here,
So they have somewhere to live.
I do not want to mix up the words,
Because they ask me to write them,
And if I get it right,
I can watch them dance.
I do not want to forget the words,
But some day I will get old,
Then maybe they will run away,
And I won’t be able to find them.
I do not want to lose the words,
Because we have been friends,
And time is short,
And I have burned my candle for so long.
I do not want to wear out the words,
Because there may not be many left,
Because everyone is talking,
And less and less is being said.
