It goes beyond words
This thing I feel
I just can’t explain
Just look me in the eye
And you will know
It goes beyond words

This numbness
I just can’t describe
Words welling up
Stuck somewhere beneath
My throat –
It goes beyond words

The tears held back
Restrained
Filling up the eyelids
Trembling
It goes beyond words
You will never know

This silence
So eloquent
Heavy and laden
With meaning
It goes beyond words
You know

This air I breathe
Your presence, your whiff
My mind recalls
Long lost fragrance
Of a love once was
It goes beyond words

Maybe I am wrong
The feeling’s just too strong
Maybe it’s still there inside
A flame burning so bright
Scorching

It goes beyond words
It goes beyond words
