stillness

stuck inside a stillness

pulling back the tide

bet you didn’t notice

a kiss begins with lies

the deeper undertoe

of what we didn’t know

begins with healthy swaying

swaying too and fro

all bottled up into

feelings that we knew

reside disguised inside

this stillness turning blue

can’t catch another breath

can’t stand another lie

I soon begin to fall

please call and ask me why

for if I’m left alone

these echos that are mine

will only scratch the stillness

will hardly draw the line

so cross it if you dare

and on the other side

you may just break the tension

perhaps just roll the die

…

suffering in silent stillness speculated to surprise even myself some day some time.
