SwirlingFire: You Can Talk

You Can Talk

You can talk
You can talk to dozens of nameless faces
You can talk to a roomful of people and say nothing
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk to anyone
You can talk to the stars & moon
You can talk to push through gloom
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk into the early hours
You can talk softly into my ear
You can talk to the universe
You can talk to those that no longer hear
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk anytime
You can talk looking into my eyes
You can talk whilst breathing through tears
You can talk when no one is listening
You can talk about your accountability
You can talk about perceived blame
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk until the cows come home
You can talk when roosters squawk
You can talk about your regrets
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk using your telephone
You can talk in a letter
You can post it to feel better
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk about your hurt
You can talk about your shame
You can talk through the burning of never ending pain
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk when you want
You can talk when in need
You can talk about the life you expected to lead
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk about thoughts driving you insane
You can talk through the mistakes you keep making, time and again
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk through the day that’s burned into your brain
You can talk existentially about being a drain
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk when you’ve exhausted everyone else
You can talk to the person that knows your secret self
You can talk

You can talk
You can talk anytime of day or night
You can talk
You can talk when the sun shines brightly
You can talk when the rain starts to fall

You Can talk
You can talk if you really wanted
You choose to say nothing at all.
