wanting mute

I hate these words
for the emptiness they hint of
the snapshots of dreams that never even
had the chance to develop
let alone fade into our remembrance
words that tap dance around
the suddenness with which
we realized that no person
can ever make another whole
words that are incapable
of ever learning the correct steps
I need new words
the ones that embrace our frailties
and call each one gently by name
words that comfort our eternal wounds
and make us move with more grace and style
to where we can positively know
that though love does not make us perfect
it can give us hope
that a path toward perfection
is possible
