May the Words of my Mouth...

Dry as a bone,
filled to the top with
stone. Try as I might
I have no words
tonight.

Lips quiver, not from
awe, but from
sobs. Try as I might
I have no love
tonight.

Spine-less and speech-less
No words can say that
which fits the right,
flow. Try as I might
I have no song
tonight.

Tonight, I sit in this
dark desert. Alone, I see the
stars shine for
you. Try as I might
I have no breath
tonight.
