People will always disappoint you.
they use words as easily as breaths
and they fall just as coldly
in the bitter cold of night.

like a mist they hang
punctuation in mid air
and as empty as the words
spoken - now disintegrating.

i never defined a moment
because you cannot name
what does not exist in
the realm outside of our heads.

my meaning is not your meaning
and the words take different shapes
like cigarette smoke in the night
like the uncertain fog rolling in.

I dont begrudge you your doubt
or fear or discomfort that you feel
words have no meaning to some
though the wounds they cause dont heal.

as it were - as i am
