I gave you
nonchalance
Do you know
what time it is?
If you read tomorrow’s page
I hope in it you find your name,
The ribbons of my cage,
Was bookmarked on your lane.
You are my one sweet season,
We hid under their laughter.
In the corner there was treason,
Touched your ear with no whispers.
Do you know what time it is?
Why are you still awake?
Asking me about how the things in my life are going
on.
Do you miss me like how I missed you?
Or is just loneliness not such a good company,
reminding you that you shouldn’t have let go of me?
We were so close sitting,
The liquor filled the floor.
But our shadows weren’t lying,
Your eyes led me to that opened door.
I left you on that last dance,
I saw you bleeding bad.
I gave you nonchalance
When I never should have had.
Tell me your
poetry
Let’s take a dip
Into the blackness of ink
Just like how we start to drown
In our conversations at night.
Look me in the eyes
You’ve been my moonlight
Enough to fill these pages
Of my blank slates of today.
