Words (suggestions on how to end it welcome)
What of the words that are left unsaid?
Are they simply never spoken,
Just... left for dead?
What of the thoughts that get forgotten?
That brilliant insight,
The awe inspiring flash of light
That you just can't quite reach.
What of the souls that were never bared?
The loves that were ignored,
The meals left unshared.
What of the friends that will never meet?
Kindred spirits, close enough to touch
Divided by their own lives,
Because its too much effort for strangers to greet.
What of the voices stifled?
The brilliant lives cut short
Do they not count?
Is this some sick sport?
A fucked up game of heads or tails.
Winner takes all,
Loser gets left on the rails.
What of the misunderstandings never explained?
The lifelong grudges that tear familes apart
That more often than not started as a game.
