claws On chalkboards

Start a conversation with a girl in ruins.
this time I'm waiting for you.
don't say it, don't promise A thing,
that we both know will never come true.

want someone to push my hair behind my right Ear.
the way it makes me pretty...
sparkles in my eye, camera Says high contrast.
Watch the ladybugs burn against the lightbulbs.
if i walk away, will you run from me?

Cover up for protection,
sweat the night Away.
a week to write this beautiful sentence for myself.
i still can't find the right words to say

so funny how i hate you, but you give me butterflies.
it's all lies. it's all lies. it's all lies.

sometimes i Save things, not a hoard.
cut up paper into hearts when i'm bored.
but i'll save you a memory, paste your drawings down,
write a star with a purple Stubby crayon!!!

I always wrote of stars in the sky and love.
how maybe they're connected, in the stars above.
but those were constellations and my thinking incorrect.
it's all lies. it's all lies. it's all lies.

don't you see how perfectly flaw-Filled you'd be...
if you just realized how perfect you'd be with me?

did you read it as a question, or did you read it with a sigh.
silent i, in team, silent i.

I like the whole "silent I in team" thing. I guess you can spell team with I !

:D TEAM

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
