If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound
Does it sing a song to lessen the pain
Or maybe scream ****** marry as it crys in vain
Does it just lay there starring at the stars
Or does it have a revelation recollecting its now diminishing life
Does it apologize to the animals who lived in it for being too weak
Or does it just smile because It lived a glorious life
Does it finally speak so the human ear can hear
Or does it stay mute laughing at all who once came near
Tell you never wondered does nature really have a voice
Wondered what it sounded like or how it would feel
Does it have a soft sweet voice like a white fluffy cloud
Or does it have deep piercing sound that penetrates even diamonds
Though it is obvious a tree does make a sound when it falls
Have you ever wondered what happens after it all

I.
Why do you always speak in twos
in twos?

II.
I speak to myself in the third person,
listen from the
first time I
heard
the first time.

III.
Spoke = I'm stupid = shut up = out of breath.

IV.
I've been holding my tongue for years
everything aches unspeakable aches
that I- and I- and
you-

V.
Mistakes.

VI.
"I wish you were somebody else."
Words can't be unsaid.
"It's all inside your head."
I wish it was, someone else instead,
her instead, her instead,
someone else, someone else said.

VIII.
Always skip the stanza seven.
Couplet in elegy of cousin, in heaven.

IX.
Speak now, or, forever hold your peace.
I chose to hold forever, not knowing
it was all I spoke for.

X.
"Keep quiet, until then."
Hold my breath until when?
Out of breath by stanza ten.

XI.
You must have me mistaken,

XII.
No words.

As I look into your eyes;

Your eyes look,
Just like the blue color of a cloudless sky,
Without raindrops of tears,

Your eyes look,
Just like the shinning deep blue sea,
I can get lost in them,

I am like a lonely cloud,
Lost in your sky,
With my lonely tears of rain falling,
On to sparkling ocean waves of blue.

I suddenly realized!
I've been standing still
Here for a long time,

I don't know what to do?
I don't know where to go?

I miss you,
I miss you more each day,

Have you thought about me?
It was so long ago
Since I've seen you,

Do you still care for me?

My heart is so heavy now, as heavy as a rain storm,
How can I carry it back to you?

Do you still think of me today?

What should I do?

Imagine a world, where we;
Speak in feelings, not words.
Listen to vibes, not sounds.
See souls, not bodies.
Live by truth, no lies.

I can't sleep. I can't stop thinking of you. You make me so happy.
