No repairs

My words fall flat

Withdrawn although I try to fake substance

behind my empty veil of skin

I try to pierce you 

but I'm way off mark 

Breaking my own hollow stems

with each desperate word

i really like this, Wraith....the idea we feel sometimes like we just can't do a person or situation the justice he/ she or it deserves....

we feel inadequate and desperate to find the right words, to find the substance we feel is missing.

made me believe shawn colvin would suggest "a few small repairs" but even she would wonder if it were plausible...
