Words will not come:
They cruelly stand by the doorway to my brain—
Mocking me,
Watching as I try to put my feelings to paper.
They laugh as I fumble with them,
Trying to arrange them into something clear,
Readable—
Scribbling themselves all over my page, just to be tossed aside.
They enter in a jumbled swarm,
Find-a-word style.
Dancing as I pick my way through the crowded letters,
Just to find that one perfect word.
And then… it escapes.
And just as I give up… I see it:
My shining star, my glimmering jewel.
My three perfect words, simple and true.
I love you.
