26 Letters

26 Letters

A Poem by Maddi Snowden

I've been trying to think of
what to say to you.

How exactly I can string together these 26
letters in a way that captures your essence.

But 26 letters can only go so far.

Maybe if I string together a hundred
sunrises and sunsets, filled with the
broken bleeding hearts of teenagers
and the deep dark bruises on their minds,
if I could sew stardust into the empty spaces
of these sentences, if I could
pour what remains of the universe
into an ocean, then maybe the
world will understand why
26 letters just aren't enough.

(M.S.)

has that occurring theme like 5 minutes...
but of course the plot lines are quite...
different in the nature of things...
this just takes it all out...
and never loses pace...
