My Dead Language

Questionable

Questionable

How slowly you drift away

But come upon yourself once more

You remain unrequited

Unloved

Untouched

By any word I speak

Or merely hold on my tongue

You-

A depth to be plunged

A darkness to be unfolded

You don’t ask for more than what you’ve got

It’s no secret, it’s hardly a lot

I will promise

I will pray

To savor all my past indifference

And embrace every well intentioned mistake

But you no longer crave togetherness

And your solemness is finally awake.
