Spelled In Waters

Phrases laughing right in your face
Writing depth into this shallowness
Carving a name just to leave a trace
A body resounding with hollowness
Meaning, please come onto me
Explain these deeds of vanity
With every failure and every falter
May my name be spelled in waters
So many words, but nothing to say
Still I’m waiting for a sense to come
I am silent. Words took my voice away
Tamed and harmless I am. All alone
This empty page best remains forsaken
Describing roads already taken
Echoing what was heard before
Irrelevance immortalized
Please try to remember me
“Someone who has always tried.”
But uttered words do not live long
Silence will engulf this song
