*BODY LANGUAGE*

What do we do
when language isn't
enough?
When thoughts
become frozen,
and emotions
suffer motionless.

What do we do
when bodies scream
soundlessly?
When limbs
and lips ache.

Can't you hear
my whispers?
Why can't you?

What do we do
with these empty
spaces?
When they're not
empty at all.
I'd drown amongst
all the misunderstandings.

What do we do
when these human
forms fail
to express?
And I've forgotten
to tell my story.
