this is not a poem

By Doc Watson

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

i am tired of giving myself away when i gripe or complain or make the mistake of saying what i feel at any time always it comes back to haunt me so this is not a poem therefore i cannot betray my innermost thoughts or me, most intimate me and you will never know how i feel and that i love you still even though you say you miss me and i say i'm doing fine (which in fact is true) you will never hear or read my words again because i am not devoted and this is not a poem this is not a poem and i am not the best lover you have ever had or will ever know i cannot sing i have no voice inside my fractured passions there is not one single thing that means more else than anything and this is not a poem that i never wrote Written April 2nd, 2002 © on Apr 01 2002 07:09 PM PST   0 • 1
