PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I didn't know you were the one singing your song

because all I heard were the words

but I could not see the face

You were just sitting along in the dark

with the melody in your head

and the music that came out was so beautiful



[and so I tiptoed through the dark

to try to get close to you

So, I could hear you even better

and when you finished,

I heard you sigh

As you reread what you wrote in your lovely letter]



I didn't know you were there

in the basement singing your lyrics

They once were your poems

and the thoughts in your journal

but once you reclused

you turned them into your songs

but you don't sing th em to anyone

except for the darkness



repeat chorus
