Is it... Irony?
My life is language
and I have no words for you.
Erasing each little quip
before it reaches my lip
only echoes
A thousand lines for you.
The precedent muse,
and you won't see them
even if written
you won't see them
deleted.
I feel defeated
By myself and my hands
by my words
with which the short line spans
I feel deleted
Concieted
As if it's my defeat to posess.
As if the story is in reference to me.
But it was ours
and now it's not.
You won't see it.
The words won't rhyme,
because it's not our song anymore.
It's a memory
Fading into the background
Frequencies slowly dying out
against the scenery
as our ears get too old to hear them.
We'll remember differently every time
we think of it again.
Until it's different again.
Over and over,
until the echoes are a whole new chorus.
A different memory.
And the spark will be dead again.
In another new way.
I'll always be sorry.
Then I'll remember it
and type it, and delete it.
And we'll forget it, but we won't.
We'll hear the echoes
and won't have the words.
Deleted.
