Lost.Word

Brendan W Vittum
Lost.Word.

something got loose
inside; escaped
to the world outside
one summer afternoon.

lost, the ghost-word
whispers in my ear, muttering
what you did not want
me to hear, did not want
me to forget.

thoughts
scribbled in a second
for remembrance - but where?

too late, damage done; a life-
time heard in a split-
second; too much,
too soon, and now
the thought i thought
to recall has escaped all
thought;

something got loose
inside; escaped
to the outside - once more
word is lost - and now?
i forgot
where i put the word.

Heart.

    Funny, started out as a railing against writer's block - not certain where it ended up though!

    Potent and emotive. Well done.
