Listen

Description

If I were a song, would you sing it?

Enunciate every syllable with endless yearning

For my skin

Knowing when the last note hits

You will end

If I were a song, would you write it?

Painstakingly pore over every detail

Ensuring it holds true to my essence

Transforming emotions into words

To forge a path to me

If I were a song, what tune would be enough?

Would you shriek and scream in ecstasy

Or whisper in soundless utterings

All the secrets you wish I knew

Hidden further than you could ever reach

If I were a song, would you sing it?

Because I miss the tune that moves me

And it haunts me every waking hour

Like invisible echoes resonating on deaf ears

Lingering on the tip of your pen
