I don’t know what I am talking about.

There are cracks among the ceiling
and grubby goblins down the hall
Dracula caped and hungry; he is reeling
and worse the witch is at the mall

Stumbling and drinking
Sincerely trying not to fall
Again I ask what were you really thinking?
This coupling missed the curtain ’s call

I look to wonder before murmur
You ask me what; but I try to stall
Like I am an artichoke you begin peeling
and I pretend to be appalled
Like poker faced, the fake
without blinking
and still I am standing tall
While inside I am slightly shrinking

Fumbling, completely numb; no feeling
Sincerely trying not to fall
What were you really thinking?
I think you should feel like I do

I think you should feel so small

so small

    One of the most negative works seen from you till date….

    This does not sound quite like your other poetry. The poem is well written but the mood more somber.

  • Inna Tysoe on Dec 25, 2010

    Sounds a bit miserable. Well written though.

    Two people can never truly think or feel the same way about even the same thing. We never know what is going on in the minds of others, it drives you mad to think about it, so don’t. Hope you are feeling a little lighter in soul Jerry.
