words

i gave away my unfinished poems
line by line
to the boys carried on the wind

I gave away misinformation
and malnourished emotion
for I feared the novel within

I gave away kisses in twilit verse
breathing out letters
when I wanted to breathe it all in

I gave away my tears one night
from a dammed up milky way
when you fed me the words
I knew I forgot how to say
