i can't speakA Poem by Kieran James McGovernEverything that’s right Is all that’s left behind And all the words unsaid Echo in the winds of time Tears who were once spent Evaporate and their essence Sediments Ferment Regret Regrets
I will take everyone I know To a field gone fallow Where the starving, hollow hearts Finish battles they can’t start But anyway nothing here is real Short of hatred, short of zeal Within the walls I often breach It feels criminal for me to even speak
No one makes it out alive All wayfarers pay the toll Tenacious, sullen smiles Haggard, harrowed souls The sentiments congeal Before the wound can heal Expect The worst Discard The curse
I will leave everyone behind Out of sight and out of mind I cannot pay I won’t f*****g pay Just to wish to wish all earthly problems Far away For today A temporary thing With evanescing lyrics here to sing I can’t speak © 2010 Kieran James McGovern |
