Poem Artwork





Yeah, sure, I’ll play hide and seek with you,

But if I don’t find you, it’s ‘cause I don’t want to.

You look for me in the sun – where you thought you’d find me,

But you find me here, in the dark –

By myself and utterly alone.

Would you sit with me for a while?

But, please, don’t turn on the light,

‘Cause I don’t need you to see my tears right now,

Although I know you know I’ve shed them.

Just sit here and keep me company.

Can we waste these moments for a while?

Snatch this moment out of time.

Let’s not breathe, not break the spell.

We’ll pretend we don’t exist.

Let’s not breathe; let’s not breathe,

And everything’s all right until we break the spell.

 

I guess it’s my turn to look for you,

And if I don’t find you, it’s ‘cause I don’t want to.

Once again I find you here – where I knew I would,

In the dark and by yourself – utterly alone.

I’ll sit with you for a while,

But I won’t turn on the light.

You don’t need me to see your tears,

Although you know I know you’ve shed them.

I’ll just sit and keep you company.

We can waste these moments for a while;

Snatch this moment out of time.

We won’t breathe; we won’t break the spell.

We’ll pretend we don’t exist.

We won’t breathe, and we won’t breathe.

I know exactly how you feel,

And everything’s all right, until we break the spell.

Wonderful, songlike, like Forever. "Although I know you know I’ve shed them."-- your talent and ease of expression is outstanding.

Great use of the dash. Wonderfully told free verse poem, I felt like I was watching a film the way you pulled me into your penn, and hearing the poets voice is the mark of a good poet...
