I kept his name in my wallet

This is a poem, or lyrics, or whatever, by myself. First time I've ever posted something like this.

Love it? Hate? Rather be gnawing on cement? Lemmie hear it!


I wish I could love you

in a different way,

but never not at all.

Picasso couldn’t have painted

a more confusing situation.

Believe me, he tried. You laughed, I cried.

Pace, pace, pace. Tap, tap, tap.

I want to throw something, but I don’t.

Not that I can’t, I just won’t.

Screaming sounds good,

and if I thought it might work, I would.

The empty space between my ears

chooses to ignore the sound of one too many

when you say “I love you, dear.”

I kept his name in my wallet,

‘cause I didn’t want it in my head.
