Haunted

In certain words you say
I hear the echos of the past
In certain words you say
It takes me way, way back

I don't want to be mad anymore
But your words follow me around
I don't want to be mad anymore
But in your words, I drown

Old Man (Part 2)

Old man, you don't know me
You only know the shadows I let you see
Old man, you don't know me
Only the parts that I let free

Speak

Speak

I'm queer
Are the words I held back
As I watched you go

And now I'm left wondering
What happens now that these words
Are ones you'll never know

Written March 2020.
