Shoveling the snow creating songs out of nothing playing with old sticks and stones Don’t You Remember?
Inside that small room of yours, watching countless videos online of the same band laughing and pretending Don’t You Remember?
Late night snacking on sugar Catching your goldfish Exploring in our own backyards Don’t You Remember?
Walking through hidden paths in the graveyard Singing random songs from that same band as we walk Reading each grave as if we knew them Don’t You Remember?
Sitting on your bed giggling about random nothings Dressing up your dolls And patting your dog Don’t You Remember?
The world around me slows to a crawl, No one around me knows me at all. I look over the crowd of familiar faces, From various times and different places. They laugh and they play, one and another, All with secret pains, I’m just like the others.
When you ignore me I'm stabbed with disappointment And plagued with loneliness Why do you do it I don't get it I thought this was love I thought this was real I guess to you, it's all a joke I can't put myself through it again I won't
I like 10 word poems because it forces you to summarize your thoughts to the point where you're really only saying what you mean. Maybe I should try using that same theory in my own life, haha. **
