Dearest Me

Dearest me, Don't write Don't breathe Eyes up Don't speak Palms flat Don't think Sincerely, me Dearest me... Making the most of a small quiet moment Flipping through dusty new pages unspoken Finding my voice under layers unbroken Finding a reason to shut in the peace ..... Oh, dearest me... (Dearest me...) The shutters may shake under relentless pounding Banging and scraping, muffled and drowning Under new stress, hysteria climbing Bury my riddles, bury the peace ..... Oh, dearest me... Can't write Can't breathe Eyes up Can't speak Palms flat Can't think Sincerely, me Dearest me (dearest me...) Don't write Don't breathe Face down Don't speak (dearest me...) Fists clenched Don't think Sincerely, me (sincerely me...) Sincerely, me
