Words once.....mine.

what i could not say forever lay on the corner of a sidewalk..
marked by the pedestrian everyday
something so heartbreakingly ordinary yet i could not say
seasons changed..the walk at times frozen..drenched...arid
yet my words lay there...silently staring up at the passersby
shunned....forgotten....unfreed
i wonder how different it would have been...had i uttered them out loud
had i set them free...made them part of the crowd
they would have travelled afar instead of lying in tatters
might have even spread warmth like how a rainbow scatters
what is to now become of them?
for they are no longer the same
worn and faded they have become a part of the cobbled path
yes indeed i had feared this aftermath
a time will come when they will forgo even a curious being
unwilling to break free...never having witnessed spring
such a pity....such promise they held once upon a time
words that were once.....mine.
