Words

Words are there
Beneath my skin
A mass of language
Kept within
I can't sleep
For whirling thoughts
That keep my mind
Tied up in knots
Things not done
Unsaid and over
What could come
A distant lover
Dreams are hidden
Out of reach
In taunting sight
I'd love to teach
My mind to rest
Whenever I say
The time is best
But the words are there
Beneath my skin
And I can't sleep
For thoughts within...
