Cleave to Love

We speak too much

But I am realising there is often a dangerous power

In words

Once spoken

They cannot be unsaid

And they can be taken wrong ways

Or seen as weapons

The truth is despite what I say

You may never know

What is truly in my heart

And much as I try to reach you

Maybe my words will only end up

Pushing you further and further away

And in the distance I will sense your soul

A long way off from here

While the pieces of our former connection

Remain shattered in pieces on the ground

All around sadness

But somewhere I remember

There is something more real

Than all of this

Pain suffering confusion and fear

And so it is

Deep in the silence

I cleave to love
