You didn't use the gun on me But it's burning like I was just shot. I searched for the wound For the Deep Red stain in my shirt It was not there If it is not there Why do I feel like I was shot? Deep in the heart A constant, painful ache Throbbing in my chest But in reality The silence was the bullet And you were the one in control of the gun. The Silence is deafening. It is like I can't hear anything and everything I can't stomach it. It is sometimes a dull ache, sometimes a sharp one. You patch up my wounds Let the wound heal for a little while And shoot me again, same place. I am just waiting for the shot. Maybe this time I will be able to escape The escape is not a scream Or a scheme for revenge It is the moment I stop checking my shirt For the deep red stain When I stop crawling back When the silence is just silent When the shooter is gone for good When I can rest When the weight is lifted off of my chest. But that is a day far away from here Forever only in my dreams.

Deep Red Stain
The caterpillar walks alongside groovy stems; so what do you mean?     the banjo plays on to rusty hymns; what is that supposed to mean?  the plainsong of those birds of a feather upends: excuse me, come again please?    but nobody, no one;  ever… told you you had to comprehend. Oh fam, you’re soo mean! So you can take your suit just in case, and I can take in the rain and coat  my little dream. What, why? You don’t mind.  and I don’t mind metaphors to explain lyrics across…  the bard. You’re speaking in riddles, Man! So what is Poetry to me, if I can’t take it’s license and play with my words, words you would discard, I call  deuces wild, yeah my friend. Nah, it’s not like that at all child. Yes it is. No it’s not. Yes it is. No it’s not! And that’s the way I feel y’all. I just think a thought and jot. Jot it all down. Jot it all down. Jot alllllll DoWn… when I think a thought.
