...A Poem by Ookpikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krf2fyazu_oI'd be lying if I said How badly I didn't want that. How quiet it hasn't been, How intolerably quiet it hasn't really been. I'd be lying as much to myself As I would be to the world, If I couldn't say, I didn't want to be alone anymore - That I regret nothing and the choices I made weren't justified, That the weight on my chest never compressed As night slipped away into dawn. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, That the closest thing I had to a cure Wasn't exactly that which you have to offer. I'd be lying. And though every fiber, Every muscle and every sinew begs to entangle, Begs to show you what lays patiently beneath these ribs, I'd be lying if I told you it held all the answers And that a heart like mine might well be worth the ransom. © 2019 Ookpik |
