Tonight was one of those nights- I felt solo- Tonight- Ancient images delineate themselves from the background- All at once, in a second- I’m walking thru these pictographs- What was this moment asking for?- Its almost as if the right words are slipping as soon as I think of them- I’d pray to something to anything right now- To bounce me back and leave this freeze-frame- The bubble that protected me, huh?- Easily broken from the smoke released from my lips- And just that instant I relax, I can see it- Vulnerability to start from scratch- Some kind of absolution for myself, from myself- I’m speaking to my unknown person, now- The child who unrelentlessly asks what has become- Though I’m chalk full of experiences- I’ll never have the answer- To satisfy you or me- Why this, why that, what if that- Have I become a despondent figure, from your curiosity? Can I emerge from this subconscious mutiny, unscaved? Hey you- I’m telling you, yeah you- I mustn’t be allowed to hear your voice again- Your silence, is benign in nature- Ease this burden, so I can no longer fear- Or question my worth- I’m stepping outside now- I’m gonna leave you alone- Somewhere inside of me- Yes, I know- I love you too-
Reason for writing:
Sometimes things are better left unsaid and unanalyzed.
