Never Minds

You sing your song

while I listen with my good ear.

I'll write you the poem

that you've always wanted to hear.

The words aren't mine.

They aren't even real.

Stolen, mangled

and lacking all appeal.

Then they are just letters

that shift into lines.

Broken and scattered

leaving nothing behind.


 

You'll sing on,

but I can not be sweet.

My good ears are gone.

I'll glady give up my seat.

Now here I am.

Just as the words, the letters,

and the lines.

Fragmented deep down

like space and time.

This is where we are

and I know what I need to be.

Just the strange girl

that I never wanted you to see.
