Games
Find the jumbled masses of
Nondescript, written on half inch lines
The things I’ll never tell you
Leave it undefined
The words are over used & over played
They don’t do justice to the means
The things I don’t plan on saying
But if you could watch the rain fall
Back into the sky
If you stole the color of a butterfly
Maybe then I’d tell you
Tell you everything I thought I’d never say
And everything and nothing is holding me back
A slip of the tongue could ruin
The fragility we’ve forged
Security and Loneliness cements into us
All for the smile you bring
Swallow my words back down whole
Would you notice if I chocked
On the ropes they tie us with
We are hung in a precarious situation
A small jolt can topple the entire game
For is this not a game we play
We sway back and forth
Too and fro
Trying to find solid ground
That always falls away
Because just when I’m tempted to speak
The world shifts
Disoriented,
Disfigured,
Disengaged
You walk away from me
Nondescript, written on half inch lines
The things I’ll never tell you
Leave it undefined
The words are over used & over played
They don’t do justice to the means
The things I don’t plan on saying
But if you could watch the rain fall
Back into the sky
If you stole the color of a butterfly
Maybe then I’d tell you
Tell you everything I thought I’d never say
And everything and nothing is holding me back
A slip of the tongue could ruin
The fragility we’ve forged
Security and Loneliness cements into us
All for the smile you bring
Swallow my words back down whole
Would you notice if I chocked
On the ropes they tie us with

A small jolt can topple the entire game
For is this not a game we play

That always falls away
Because just when I’m tempted to speak
The world shifts
Disoriented,
Disfigured,
Disengaged
You walk away from me
