I cuff our wrists together
and tell myself
you're deciding to stay
Ruheen Oct 2019
No, I don't
I don't mind
The music's loud
We're in a crowd
But it's quiet

No, I don't
I don't mind
They're everywhere
But I don't care
'Cause I'm all alone

No, I don't
I don't mind
They're telling me
What to see
But I don't need to listen

No, I don't mind
But I really should.

Clear blue skies so wide
They might suffocate me
Sunlight like knives
Piercing my skin
Making me wonder
Why I should even try
It's just one of those days.
Colm Oct 2019
Would it be rude of me?
At such a far proximity
To not breathe breath back into our being?

Cold and quiet as the morning
Laying still like the undisturbed sheets
Windowless without sense or feeling

Would you consider it mean?
If I chose to not let this proud chest beat?
And collapse in a time like the hills into a cavity

Just as riverous words cuts the valley sharp
And the tongue softens both pen and quill
How rude would it be if I didn’t care about our relationship lying still?
Sometimes it’s best just to let the patient go. And please know. That this piece is about no one who writes or has written like this. *nod nod* It's about no one in particular.
