    Meaningful Silence

    So maybe one day you will
    See that you were everything
    that could ever be for me
    and it was never a mistake
    to wear your heart on your sleeve

    I was never the best person
    But I was never the worst.
    I tried so hard
    Not to break your heart.

    I tried so hard to tell you
    You’re the one
    But the words never did
    Come out right
    I always stumbled and
    Forgot

    But I went home one day
    Wrote it all down
    Rehearsed in the mirror
    And memorized everything
    It would take to spill my heart

    Came back next day
    And found out
    You were done waiting
    For me to say what I planned
    To say that day

    Now I’m so heartbroken
    You thought I didn’t love you
    And I’m so done
    Because life has no meaning
    If you’re going to be gone

    So maybe one day you will
    See that you were everything
    that could ever be for me
    and it was never a mistake
    to wear your heart on your sleeve

    so tell me darling
    how are the stars tonight
    are they as bright
    as when we used to lay
    together just to be alone
    because for me
    the stars don’t seem to shine anymore

    don’t be mad for what I do next
    because you’re at fault for it
    you never mentioned anything
    it’s not my fault
    I never knew you felt that way
    I was scared too
    You behaved so selfish.

    When I see you on the street
    I want to turn away so quickly
    Because I don’t want to say
    The words I couldn’t say that day
    Because your heart
    Doesn’t belong to me.

    So maybe one day you will
    See that you were everything
    that could ever be for me
    and it was never a mistake
    to wear your heart on your sleeve

    I never meant to hurt you so bad
    But it doesn’t seem to affect you
    So what’s the point of my apology
    I’m dying here
    For not saying a word
    And I wish I could turn back time
    To yell it out
    The first time I felt this great love

    All I have left is
    A meaningful silence
    A meaningless phrase
    A meaningful silence
    A meaningless phrase

    I like the way you divided up the lines, but your painting too many pictures.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
