Said The Boy Screaming Into The Void.A Poem by Dan in TSCFor the foolish and those who can't hear themShe told me she'd never count the stars for any man. Because it's a pointless task that can't be accomplished. No one should waste their life chasing another. I told her to keep watching the stars because there's infinite beauty out there to be found. I intentionally misunderstood and played myself for the fool. Said the boy screaming into the void. I sat in a place of magic and
decided to take a shot. At that moment she decided to shut me out. The universe
is a cruel puppeteer. Said the boy screaming into the void. If I’d have told her she was
beautiful I think she wouldn’t have believed me. Amazing what we cannot see. Or
what we believe we do see. Said the boy screaming into the void. We were never anything. And yet we
were everything to me. I was sure that we were more and our pasts would see
their way through. Yet it did turned out to be nothing more than any empty illusion.
Said the boy screaming into the void. The HoneyBrowns I was mired in I
knew would be the death of me. Trapped in amber, frozen in time, alone and unfound.
Said the boy screaming into the void. It was foretold from day one that
this would never work and yet I rallied on. Now I just sit hurt and ashamed.
Said the boy screaming into the void. It was a fool’s pursuit. I knew it all along. But my heart chased - for the thrill is the fire until the fire breaks it into a million pretty little pieces. Said the boy screaming into the void. YouMadeMeLoveYou-YouMadeMeFeel something that had gone dark in me. Yet now I wonder if the dark is where I belong. Remain in the solitude. Said the boy screaming into the void. © 2023 Dan in TSC |
