Silence on a hard mattress

I am

            Who

I am

            Because

Of

            Everyone.

 

The thought

Of

 Losing you,

            Makes

Me:

Nothing-

 

You

Are

A Lady

Tied

To her

Manners-

I could

  Cut

Lose your

Strings

  And

Build a

Book wall

Between our-

Bed!

Eat Knowledge

    Want

Me-Close

    Hold

Me – Now

NOTHING!

 

I saw!

You see-

I't will - Never Be.

You took!

A mind.

Souless.

A crime.

Left alone.

Her pain.

Respect!

 Her gain.

My My,

Dance again.

Sing, But when?

Worry.

I worried

Speak.

I spoke.

Done.

Did.

Loved and hid!

My head.

My heart.

Bones an all.

My barrier.

Her wall.

No longer..

My fall!
