sincere;
but the meanings sleeping behind it
are fake.
don’t you know how to
calculate a broken heart?
don’t apologize for not being poetic
enough for me.
my feet upon the hardwood floor
don’t lie as i cross over
this exit.
and you’re closing your eyes but
does it make it any better?
blocking out the sun,
but does it block out my tired lips:
speaking words on top of
words that will never (re-ac-h).
your heart or somewhere
in between.
your eyes sending out useless
messages in which i’ll
never know what they mean.
and it’s all true and it’s all real,
but it’s worn out and you’re letting the
memories fade away and slip
through like
weightless sand.
the moon, the stars, it’s all a
fantasy world, and wishing.
these things will never
come true.
and i don’t think i would ever do,
not for you.
