There don't seem to be enough words.
Have you ever noticed that?
It's so hard.
It's so hard just to say one little thing.
Or maybe not so little.
We're always struggling
to fit things into little boxes,
one-word definitions
that are too small for the idea
that we need them for.
Love.
What kind of love?
How strong is it?
How long will it last?
One word isn't enough.
Pain.
Heart-wrenching, gut-twisting pain?
A stab through your chest?
Betrayal too deep to describe?
How can one word be enough?
Friend.
Ally? Acquaintance?
This isn't working.
Words are too simple.
They're too small to fit.
