A Loss For Words

A jaw dropping event

Took his breath away

In utterance

To this very day

A misconception would prevent

An initial statement

From being relevant

As authorities & the public eye

Questioned a witness

Who painfully had

A Loss For Words

In order to embrace

A living nightmare

Not worth reliving

He wished it would be

Forever gone

Within the shocking

Mental corridors of his estranged mind

Yet the killing scene left behind

A lasting impression

Scaring him to the brink

Of a chattering lifelong stutter

He was never able to recover

In order to give his pivotal testimony

To help identify a sought out killer

As the authorities & a grieving family

Wished he had never suffered

From the epitome of A Loss For Words

Author's Note

Trying something a little different from my usual norm. All reviews welcome, thanks for stopping by and enjoy. :)

This is a vivid tale of someone who has something important to say - but cannot say it. It's a shame that those who have something to say may suffer this way, while others rattle on... Good poem, BP.
