The title says it all.

When Words Won't Come 

I feel a lump in my throat. 

I wonder, can he see it? 

I feel a nervousness overtake my stomach. 

I wonder, can he sense it? 

My hand's tremble with anonymity and my heart speaks quietly of fear. 

How scared am I when words won't come? 

When my thoughts don't escape, but dwell in my heart turning it black. 

When countless screams shatter my darkness, yet everyone else sees
light. 

How scared am I when all that I am, and all that I think, and all that 

I feel has turned to nothing? 

I am a ghost of flesh. 

I walk-		no one's there. 

I speak-	no one hears. 

I cry-		no one helps. 

I have a lump in my throat- he doesn't see it. 

I have a nervousness in my stomach- he doesn't sense it. 

I have a death in my heart- he doesn't feel it.
