We communicated silently
Speaking to each other in telepathy
Now we’re burdened in our minds
forgetting our common language
one day at a time
When I’m sitting idle
the waves run amok
and every seventh wave
fights to keep your picture afloat
I’m held in the prison
of independence from you
failing to learn lessons
in anonymous cities of doom
I run away to the hills
from the sorry little life
i’ve been meaning to change
I’m surrounded by mirrors
I smoke to hide my face
Every little gesture around me
is a memory of you a thief
is trying to steal away
I run away from you in circles
always to find you in the way
I wake up with voices in my head
imploring me to erase the
Mona Lisa portrait I painted of you
It comes from a feeling of loneliness and a shared emotion of codependency
that you & I should be happy to be free of
In order to be alone again
we need to learn a new language
and absorb the pain of the waves
to let our common language drown in vain
No, don’t let your common language drown!
Won’t let it 🙂
Wow! You are wonderful with your words.
Thank you Anne 🙂

Beautifully captured!
Love these lines- “I run away from you in circles
always to find you in the way”
