Vu

I feel like I have done all this before
Cried all the tears, regretted where I was
And when, and how it happened, that and more
And most of all, felt almost void because
I do not have the words to write it out
Much less to speak. I simply cannot say
Or even think my feelings. Do not doubt
That they are there, but there perforce they stay
Since I can't get them out - or better put
I cannot make them line up in my head
Whether to say or think. I put one foot
Before the next, but when I think instead
Of one word following the next they all
Clamor together and then silent fall.
