Invisible Playlists

Folder: 
2017

I go quiet for days

when I’m dreaming in lyrics,

streaks of my memory somehow written down by someone else,

shards of a moment I might have left behind.

 

I go quiet and collect

every note

every rest

every rhyme

that makes me think of you.

 

I have given you all of my words

and none of them are broken.

I have given you all of my time

and none of it’s wasted.

 

I have run out of voice,

I have no other stories,

I exhale invisible playlists

you will only find if you unfold my skin.

 

I am not doing much you asked me to do

but I could answer all your questions

in this symphony.

 

Maybe you should

learn the music filed under your name 

to know what’s going on in my head.
