No Poem

                                  You're no poem.

Once you open your mouth

I never like what you say

A carnation

To cover your lips

When you speak I fall away

The exceptions

Are few in between

I spend time just trying to forget

Away, away, will you fall away

Let's pretend that we never met



Keep yourself within yourself

For all that you say it never gets better

In yourself within yourself

If I was you I wouldn't talk, I'd just keep dancing

If all your moves were words

And backsteps were things you've denied

You've said, that's right, your dead

I'm dumb, but not deaf and blind
