Words are all I have. 

And the written word at that. 

I tried to make them real

Honest

Complete

Soulful

Heartfelt

Meaning

Felt by my heart. 

Sometimes, an ache runs through it, 

my heart, 

Memories 

And intent

Soften the ache. 

A little. 

Reality makes it fade

As I remember 

That those blue eyes 

Never ached for me. 

Words. 

Inadequate.
