Way With Words

You have such a way with words

They jump out from the page to pierce my mind

And I hold them there

And repeat them to myself

Memorize them start to end til they are mine

And I know them well

You have such a way with words

You have such a way with words

Whispered in my ear they sting my heart

And I hide them there

Hum them to a melody

Hoping that as I sing I do my part

To make them more alive

You have such a way with words

You have such a way with words

No one can say it better than you do

So I don't try to

I just hide them in my heart

Knowing the change they bring to me is from

The inside out

You have such a way with words
