more than when you tried

oh darlin i aint never heard
nothin as sad as you
cryin out in drunken pain

yer cards close; not a gambler
but the mirror in yer voice
shows yer hand

babe i get why yer hurtin
ya dont gotta say it out loud
& i guess neither will i

a piece of this messll always be
yers, love o mine
didnt work so hard to walk now

maybe someday sing it out loud
right now im keepin yer secret
yer keepin mine

dig through this dirt
tell me what treasure ya find
deep in the hard clay

truth is heart o my own heart
i love yer sine wave
ups downs & all

go silent if ya need
be right here waitin
when yer voice comes back

Hi. I'm a poet. I was a playwright/producer before the pandemic. If you're wealthy and want to be a modern Medici, drop me a buck or two: paypal.me/ksnapreads
