Too Simple Words to Tell

There is nothing I can say
to make you understand,
because how can I express myself
in such a simple way as words?

A thought to your mind,
but a feeling to your soul,
and words cannot logically change
for the purpose of communication.

To convey a feeling
is not like to convey a thought,
so I’ll send out my emotions
and pray they reach your soul.

Author notes

Fuck, biology.
All I can think of from here is an analogy involving the pituitary gland. It can receive nervous impulses and respond with hormonal impulses, so it's like a communication translator. Which is what we need here.

...I'm going to go crawl in a corner and die for even coming up with that.

    I like the idea behind this. It's true - all we have are words, but how can they properly convey feelings? Can you make someone else feel the ache in the pit of your stomach just by telling them you have an ache in the pit of your stomach? Can you convey the joy you feel when they walk in the room by telling them you're glad to see them? No, you cannot.

    Well said and well-written.

    I also really like the last line of your author's notes. It made me smile.

      Ah, is true, is true. As well, too many misconceptions come from the futile use of words.

      Thanks for your kind words. <3

      Haha, well I'm glad it had some purpose or another~ =D

    This is truly your line, isn't it, my love? Oh well, either way, it made me smile because you tend to say it (or think it) so very often.

    I like this poem a lot. I wanna say, 'it's cute' but it's not that (and it's NOT bad on any level) I don't know why I like it so dearly.

      That's why I wanted to put it in a poem. =D
      (I also put "logically change" in there for a reason--can you guess why? ;D)

      Haha, thanks~ I like it, too. >w<
