I would end
I would drink the foulest of poisons
I would strip my flesh to the bone
I would gladly loose my mind
If only my memory would fade
Clear all the images that dwell in my mind
Purge the imagination that plagues my thoughts
Erase the words you never said
Those are the worse
The suggestion that lingers
The path that might have been
The actions that never came to be
Or did they really
Did you mean to say them
Did they slip from your mouth
Just before your breath would carry them
Or is it just my imagination
The little I think of myself
My insecurity shouting out
Drowning the sounds you never made
Let me dive in the noise
Shout it louder than my mind
Get me drunk on action
Leave me no time to think
Save me from my mind
And save it from me
Clear me a way to the stars
And let me freeze amidst the black of night
For if you insist on keeping your silence
Wishing that we are happy
I’m better of alone in the void
Than lonely in your company

Paulo Poças
