IcyReflections

Please for the love of God
Somebody talk to me

Invisible
Invalid
A leper pushed
Among the dunes

Friends becomes enemies

Neighbors shut their doors

I stumble through these emptied streets

Begging for
For your ear

Please, God,
Please

Don’t shut me away
Among the dunes

Don’t seal me away
In layers of desert sand

Please, God, please
Somebody
Anybody
Please

Talk to me

Tell me about the day you’ve had

Tell me about nothing and everything
I promise I’ll shut up

I’ll listen

Please, I beg you,

Don’t count me among
Your enemies

Please, God, please

I just need a friend

I am sorry I caught this disease
I didn’t mean
To push you away

Didn’t mean to
Repulse you

I don’t think I am contagious

I’ll keep my distance

I’ll look the other way

But please, please, PLEASE

Talk to me



That’s all I ask

What a tiny little ant life I’ve led!

One of me,
Among thousands of you;

Knowing, out of line,
I’d be good as dead.

What’s a sad little ant to do?

I’m Sorry
I have a touch more lethal than Midas’s,
I’m Sorry
I turned your expectations to gold,
I’m Sorry
I proved I can’t bring you happiness,
I’m Sorry
You want this nugget back in the ground,
I’m Sorry
For being deadweight,

I’m Sorry
I can’t reverse the spell I’ve cast,
I’m Sorry
My fingerprints cannot be unmade,

I’m Sorry,
I’m Sorry

I’m Sorry,
This ore is here to stay

Regret is pages unread, bound in unbroken leather.
Regret is stories untold, and an audience without a heart, nor an ear, to lend.
Regret is being filled with words, but never sharing them

Never saying:
I value you, even in what may seem the most mediocre of moments.
I treasure you, for the memories and stories that you've given me.

Thank you,
all of you,
for every tiny adventure
you bestow

Dear Friends,

Forgive my frolicking 
in Oblivion

This creature
may prefer
recourse
from the din

But I beseech
you know-
you are
the solace
that I cherish
when Oblivion
is too dim


(Thank you, everyone. I don’t know if you realize it, but you are all special to me.)
