When all is said and done, words are my everything.

I bleed ink, and my words flow out of me and sing,

help the pain, ease the sting.

Oh my words, we’ve been so long together, begging,

pleading, surrendering, conceding, this long bloody fight.

Dripping ink on the soles of lost loves as they disappear

out of sight...
