Without a word

Show me that you don't care
And I'll stay here if you prefer
Yes I'll leave you, without a word
- Without a word, Birdy

—————————————

Without reckless abandon
Without malice held
I’ll have you spread your wings
And leave the nest we once built
I’ll let the vines wrap around me
Cease my erratic thoughts,
Of what ifs and whatnots.
And in this stillness,
I would surrender
I’ll let the serpent
Sing me a final lullaby
Turning my body, spellbound
Warmth touching stone-cold
All of this -
Just to keep you free.
I’ll keep still,
Without a word.

Reminds me of the poems that I use to write
Once, in my past, when I felt that my soul was being tragically tortured by this cruel and unforgiving world…and it became my outlet

I really need to explore and rediscover that essence that exists within me
It was lost when the life I had been living discouraged that form of self expression
I’m slowly finding, that’s where I felt most comfortable
Observing this place, unobjectively
Unbiased
Without prejudice
just documenting what I experienced
Funny how that is the stance and opinion most critiqued and criticized by those with opinions and beliefs
Trying to transform what they have no claim to
