Taboo, by Nina Suba
In this game, there are words I cannot say.Like if i mean Bill Clinton, I can't say 'president' or 'united states'
Or if snowball, I can't say 'winter' or 'fight'
Or any other word at the top of my mind.
Unless, you say it first.
I must hold the tip of my tongue,
And find a way around words,
Tell you about pain, for instance,
By recounting the sadness of stars on moonless nights
When nothing seemed to move, not even time.
Or I could say, 'empty chairs', 'unread letters', and 'presents that remain unopened in one's hands'.
I could tell you, 'it's when you shut your eyes because it's the only thing
that you can do, the only thing that you have strength for,
and then you dream of mangled bodies falling from the sky and crashing into you."
If I mean 'pain', I could also take your hand,
press your fingers into all the holes you made,
say 'this' or 'here' then tell the tale behind each hollow,
when all I really need to do is say your name.
I never thought I would ever say this; but I miss literature, a lot. 'A LOT' doesn't do justice to the emotions and feelings conveyed through words.
“some people feel like they don't deserve love. they walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”
“This is how you do it: you sit down at the keyboard and you put one word after another until its done. It's that easy, and that hard.”
