Tacenda ➵ poems

sad twins

Maddy and Chant fell off a tree

knees hit ground

Wounds and bruises all around

that was the first time ever

We experienced somber

And then we brought it along

In our chests every dawn

At dusk is when we feel peace

Not like we're tearing piece by piece

That's how we've been always

And it's perfectly alright to part ways

Until they came into our lives

Turning our insides to hives

Lettuce and Jasper

Brought us comfort and wonder

There is so much more than late nights

So much for than bright screen lights

We thought it was forever

Assumed it won't be soon so over

But they left us bereft

After they've done theft

To our hearts and stepped on it

Mercilessly and not regret it

So we have to let go

Go on with this miserable show

Maybe find importance in the process

At the end we'll make progress

But definitely not today

Not tonight when we still pray

That maybe they'll come back

Maybe they'll turn around and see the cracks

On our chests they attacked

With spears coated with lies

Sweet words covered with mites

Storms plotting our demise

As if it wasn't enough we cry

Every dusk our pillows soak then dry

For now let's stay here

Remain under the comfort so dear

Hiding under mountains of blankets of fear

Skin desperate for shears

Unable to connect with our peers

Sticking our blades in to hear

What the monster is singing inside this time
