for all of the horses of the king and all of the horses of the men.

We say what we mean.
We're most of the time not nearly enough.
Not enough for each other.
The words fall and they ensnare and destroy and mislead.
The words burn like a raging fire.
The words shatter before they hit the ground.
And alll the king's horses and all the king's men...

I wanted her to be there for me.
She said everyone feels that way.
I believe her.
The words fall and they communicate without needing to say anything.
The wordless words.  The doing.
The words shatter before they hit the ground.
All the king's horses and all the king's men...

The words wash over me like rain
Destroying, shattering, heart-rending words.
We say what we mean.
We laugh, we explain our words away.
With empty words we try to escape the fallout.
The words shatter before they hit the ground.
And all the king's horses and all the king's men...
