Ruined

08 Jan

You have ruined

my box of words.

None of them

are good enough.

None of them

are adequate.

None of them

can do you justice.

.

My nouns

are neutered,

my adjectives

are absent,

my verbs

are without value.

.

I have run out

of metaphors

similes

and superlatives.

.

You have ruined

my box of words.

How can I

describe you now?

.
