Γ​ι​ά Μ​ι​ά Λ​έ​ξ​η | Gia Mia Lexi (Ode To A Word)

My search is but for one word, the perfect fit
To mend all my poems bit by bit
Elusive, stubborn, lost, but known
Only that word, I long to own

If she emerges, I'll be complete
Each poetic battle, without defeat
Or I'll shred it with blows that sting
This poem ends now no more songs to sing
This poem ends now no more songs to sing

With some effort, words can be found
Defining things, seeking meaning profound
Yet, it's hard to find the missing link
Things to define words, to make hearts sing

And if they come, I'll surely mend
Each poem's fight, each verse I tend
Or I'll crush it with blows that sting
This poem dies here no more songs to sing
This poem dies here no more songs to sing

I found one word at last, so empowered
She led me far away, to places uncharted
She's no longer enough, verses want to break free
They too feel estranged, longing for infinity

This is why I shred this work, with bloody fists
And from right now on this poem ceases to exist
And from right now on this poem ceases to exist
