[adj.] using very few words

dedicated to you.


drabble
I am shy when it comes to words
so I dabble in rambling
to cut down on saying too much
lest I sound incoherent,
foolish,
confused.
I write drabbles,
so my words come in splashes
rather than a tidal wave.


soldier
I am a soldier of words
yet I never know
whether my words are my sword
or my shield.


puncture
I'm sorry I jabbed at your ribcage
with my horribly sharp elbow;
I hope you're okay.
Although sometimes I wish
it punctured your heart
so I could've somehow crawled in
and made myself a home there.


iceberg
I'd like to think of myself as an iceberg:
what you see is only a small portion of me
and since I stand out when I'm alone,
you come closer and try to explore the depths
but I usually try to scream at you to sail away
because what you don't see
is what destroys
both me, and eventually you.


disconnect
Sometimes I find myself staring into nothingness
but because I have disconnected from everything,
making myself nothing.
I am therefore staring at myself;
subconsciously falling
into a void of nothingness.
