Silencing Thoughts

Sometimes the words don't come.
Sitting alone
In the world I've created.
A shrine to you in my heart
But you'll never know.

Sometimes the words don't come.
I understand your thoughts
Without knowing you.
I feel your pain
Though we've never touched.

Sometimes the words don't come.
I can look at your face,
from afar,
And know your alone too.
And I want to hold you.

Sometimes the words don't come.
Thoughts linger
Hearts beat
Wants and needs are disregarded
Because they can't be vocalized.

Sometimes the words don't come.
But when they do,
They are beautiful.
Like you, the inspiration
Of a travel worn spirit.
