In A Word Poem by Maya Hanson

How to say it
in a word
it's impossible

How to capture
the things I feel
when I'm with you

How to form
my entire life
into a sentence

How to feel
something they won't
ever feel


How to carry
on with life
when I'm broken

How to live
with this burden
that I'm carrying

How to fix
your pretty face
with just music

How to love
with just words
on a page


How to know
in my heart
that I'm aching

How I'm aching
it doesn't compare
to anything

How to say it
in a word
it's impossible

How to realize
in a day
that I love you
