Just Don't Say It

[Posted by Ted H]


Not sure if this one was ever posted here before. Since I lack any content anyway, might as well post it now...Been a while since I shot a real poem anyway...

[Just Don't Say It]


One might make you happy
But the other will have you sigh
Run with who gets you soaring
Yet never lets you fly
But just don't say it, since it wouldn't be right.

And ask me why I'm wondering
We never seek what we find
I'll likely respond by musing
The universe was never so kind
But just don't say it, since you can't stand to fight.

Another will keep me secret
She didn't want the show
Check behind the façade
That she didn't want someone to know
But just don't say it, since it's still not alright.

Everything that you wanted
Sadly, I missed the hype.
Everything that I wanted
Too bad I was never your type
But just don't say it, since I'm lacking the sight.

And when I find my graveyard
One day when we're old
You should take a glance at the wall
Read the writing I wasn't told
But just don't say it, since it won't be alright.

Just don't say it, when we've both said goodnight.
