Every word in this poem

Updated: Feb 21

This is a rough draft...





Every word in this poem

Is going to be about you

Maybe

But we gonna pretend

Just like we do every other day

When like don’t turn to love

And love done turned to …


Every word in this poem

Is going to be about us

Maybe

But we gonna pretend

Just like we do every other day

When we say we in this

For ever

For now


And…


We lie

About us

About you

About me


As we pretend that we good

For now

For ever


Every word in this poem

Is going to be about

How good we are

At pretending

That life and love and us

Is good

When we both

Counting numbers

Circles

And squares

Guestimating

When

Who

Gonna walk away first


Reciting

As you

As I

Take that first step


Every word in this poem…
