The past has past, and from it I have decided to flee. I no longer care about what happened then. So, don't wave your history at me. Technology is supposed to lessen the load, and somehow make us feel free, But all I see are chains and rooks. So, don't wave your gadgets at me. In the educational system I trusted, through it the world I could see, But now I know it's all a show. So, don't wave your grades at me. Poetry is an acquired taste; As dead as it can be, But write we still, As words can **** So, don't wave your lines at me. In love I used to trust; the one and only key. But then I learnt, and caring was burnt. So, don't wave your happiness at me. You came unexpected and briefly; Like the sun on a cold winter's day. You dived and soaked in the waters, and caused ripples through and through. Changing the surface for a brief moment of eternity. Now you've bathed and done; had your fun. For this I decree: I am the errors you left me So please do not wave at me.

Don't Wave
The past has past, and from it I have decided to flee. I no longer care about what happened then. So, don't wave your history at me. Technology is supposed to lessen the load, and somehow make us feel free, But all I see are chains and rooks. So, don't wave your gadgets at me. In the educational system I trusted, through it the world I could see, But now I know it's all a show. So, don't wave your grades at me. Poetry is an acquired taste; As dead as it can be, But write we still, As words can **** So, don't wave your lines at me. In love I used to trust; the one and only key. But then I learnt, and caring was burnt. So, don't wave your happiness at me. You came unexpected and briefly; Like the sun on a cold winter's day. You dived and soaked in the waters, and caused ripples through and through. Changing the surface for a brief moment of eternity. Now you've bathed and done; had your fun. For this I decree: I am the errors you left me So please do not wave at me.
Sort of inspired by Keaton Henson's Poem- 'Don't twitch your curtains at me'. Go look him up. He's a great renaissance man.
