Untitled

My tongue is tied
tinted scarlet windows
that I fly through
as I let my grasp go
from the guide meant for peace.

My chances decrease,
while my dreams do the opposite.
I mix up your silence
with the screams of my hope
to be saved.

I’m depraved
from the touch I long to feel again,
with your voice and face
engraved into my desire
for a better future.

This may seem like a love poem,
but it’s a glove
that holds a situation
a situation of no conversation.

I listened to silence for a sign.
Thinking your eyes said something
your mouth only did once.

My tongue is tied
as I wave goodbye
to the figure
society calls a crush.

Oh! Let this not be a case of what may have been. Fortune favours the bold! Reach out but tenderly.

It’s not depraved to want to be with someone you care about. Find the words you wish to speak.
