Letters From My Past

October 17th, 2018

I had read your name
As it fell acrostic
But it was nothing more
Than a cope to my diagnostic
So I rewrote your letters
Now their meaning is gone
But I know it’s still there
Where it was all along
You were so original
And I was rehearsed
So I took a page out of your book
Because you were well versed
I didn’t know what I was doing
I guess I just felt shameless
When I tried to write my feelings
I left those letters nameless
I guess it was never your fault
But these pencils can’t erase the past
And my curiosity will have to rest
With questions never asked

Nameless

July 7th, 2017

Do you understand
That all of this is not my fault
Vindication is all that I want
Except that it’s still on my mind
Filling my head
In every place for thoughts
Unexpectedly is how this started
Curiosity sparked an interest
Killing me as it lingered
Implicating me in guilt
Nothing can cure this conscious of mine
I’m going down with every thought
Suspiciously I clear my mind
Pencils and pens create my thoughts
Illustrated with curves that turn to letters
Variety that turns to words
Everyone has a meaning and place
Yet I let them remain nameless
