We Don't Make a Team
September 19, 2009
What I threaded,
You shredded,
What I released,
You decreased,
How come you don’t get it?
We don’t make a team,
Not even in a dream.
So take your head out of the clouds, it doesn’t belong there.
Take your hand out of mind, just make a prayer.
Silence.
One beat.
Two.
I’m sorry.
It’s selfish of me.
But pray for my well-being.
Now I’m leaving.
Who knows if I will return?
I want you, but it doesn’t do.
We don’t make a team,
But we do in my dreams.
