This is not a Poem

This is not a Poem

I don’t write anymore

But I’m nearly there

Getting lost again

In the whispers game

If I ask is everything okay

Is only because I care

Sarcasm’s a wall

I cannot climb

And I’m going to shut down

Because I’m afraid

I can’t understand

Anything you say

‘Cause In my head already

rings a station bell

In my dreams

White mice nibbling away…

Hold my hand

Stay

Stupid words

That’s not what I wanted to say

And so I’ll stay

Waiting for Spring

Like the little lamb

It’s not a poem

But maybe it’s what you wanted

Me to write.
