SilenceA Poem by Nicholas Hagenschneider
My name hums upon your lips
Like a loose string Out of tune Out of place Not welcomed in your vocalized melody A mistake My own ears whisper truth But my eyes deceive me To watch you Plucking the chord So desperately So desperate For it to belong You plead with your instrument But I know the truth And the truth vibrates sluggishly My name an echo trapped in an unwanted melody Otherwise unstained The answer is clear I turn my back On your trembling lips I turn my back On your song It grows faint It grows sad I walk Silencing it I walk Silence ... .. . © 2014 Nicholas HagenschneiderReviews
