The
Poetry
Shh...
listen to him
saying the things I don't have words for
about everything I know nothing about.

You know,
when you think:
that's what I meant to say.

"Love", I don't know?

Love is some of that everything
I know nothing about.
That's how she is.
All of the things,
all of that stuff that I can't say,
but every bit of how I feel.
And there he is,
doing the things that I can't do,
saying the things I don't have words for,
up there in the limelight,
up on the center stage.

Watching,
the only phrase I can say,
avoiding and dodging all jealousy,
in complete honesty,
I say to myself:

Carry on man,
you're doing a hell of a job,
doing something that I can't
something I wish I could,
carry on.
