My Dead Language

I am but what the world seldom speaks-

I am but what the world seldom speaks-

Of starless nights and crowded skies

More lovely than time gone by

So today you were born

And I kissed every sweet moment

That resembled my remembering you

And today I left alone

I loved alone

I fought alone

What an unforgiving day

You’ve become already.

Too little to speak,

Too much to ask why.

So how do you do

How do you make what it is you speak

How do you live inside of you

Even I am full of you

I don’t know what to make of it

Left alone

 What can I do?
