Captured Words

So many words I want to form

Around this feeling

Capture this moment in text

But is there anything that has not

Been said?

Scared

Of cliches

Of predictability

Of trite, overused ideas.

I want to do this justice.

I think

Maybe

There are some things that cannot be told

They must be felt

As they are

...sacred?

Then is a poet's job

Impossible, pointless?

Or noble?

Either way

I give up

And give in

To this moment.
