No Poem

You're no poem once you open your mouth

I never like what you say

A carnation to cover your lips

When you speak I fall awayThe exceptions are few in between

I spend time just trying to forget

Away, away, will you fall away?

Let's pretend that we never metKeep yourself within yourself

For all that you say, it never gets better

In yourself, within yourself

If I was you I wouldn't talk, I'd just keep dancingIf all your moves were words

And back steps were things you've denied

You've said, that's right, your dead

I'm dumb but not deaf and blind
