Hush

Hush

 

 

 

gossiping emotions

i hear the secrets whispered

love, that evasive rogue

 

left me behind the blue door once again

lighting candles to save on electric heartbeats,

the bills of regret getting too expensive

 

maybe i will put those tender notes

on lay-a-way,

until i can afford to sing 

something other than sordid songs

 

and tap my feet a little

against the boards of trepidation,

remembering good words of the tune

 

only,

 

yes i hear them

they hardly try to hide themselves

the voices get louder

each time,

 

i get further away from the 

din of distraction.

So clever, how do you think of things so easily and so often.

thank you for your kind words, and keen insights, Wraith...always enjoy your replies, so much.

the further we remove ourselves from the source of heart ache, the easier it is the allow 'happier' thoughts to slip through...that doesn't mean we forget the reason why we were left behind that blue door, though...but it does offer a little reprieve

[jacob erin-cilberto]

so true, FT.
thank you,
