The Poet You Never Were

Forget the broken backed stretch across a paintedBackground you've never experienced.Forget the lazy days of daydream departure to farawayLaughs you've never heard.Forget the backwards walk through liminal windows youNever knew existed.Forget the bells tolling an hour of redemption, aMinute of fancy you've never been given.Forget the love letters penned by sad faced boysYou've never met.Forget the unwritten, uncollected works of the poetYou never were.
