When the Words Won't Come

 


When things are so terrible
that the words won't come,
feelings sit, unexpressed,
in one's chest. Thoughts circle,
trying to absorb the horror, 
the heartbreak, the suffering 
of civilians, of children, of babies -
unimaginable pain that so many
are living through.

It feels wrong to write
about anything else, and yet,
what words can ever be the right ones
to express this much pain?

The world turns, the words circle.
Will humans ever finally learn
how to live in peace again?
