Nevermind
My words mean nothing

They come from nowhere

So if I am talking

Just pretend I’m not there

The things that I say

They don’t make sense

They come from a place

That’s confused and distressed

All I want to do

Is say the right thing

My thoughts are strange

They don’t belong to me

It’s easier with you

To just erase my mind

After all this time

I’ve kind of been trained

To put on a mask

Smile

And lie through the pain

desperately clinging
to the memories i still hold
of seeing my future
when i looked into your eyes
instead of the ones
where i saw his future instead
i hate this stream of consciousness style
like nothing i write
has meter
rhythm
or rhyme.
it’s just my thoughts on paper
all jumbled up;
not even i can make sense of it.

Days when no words leave your lips
and yet silence still speaks

and this your poetry
till the end of time

while united with the dead
silently witness the raging of men

and women fight for a voice
to be equally valued.

One day you will be
A five-minute memory
That fades away
When the music ends.
Every poem I write is a secret prayer.
For you.
&
For us.
