'Word Fails"

'Word Fails"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

 I

When words fail

And I cannot find the right things

I look at you

And fail miserably anew

II

Why smile at me

When I make you cry all the time?

And this life I lead with you

Seems like someone's nightmare come true

III

Why make my life worth living

When I am eventually going to fade

You smile at me

And the words again they fail
